RESPECTFULLY  DEDICATED 
TO 
THE  SHORT-HAIRED  BUSINESS  MEN 
OF  AMERICA, 

Me'n,  Chuck  Full  of  Sentiment,  Enterprise  and 
Goodwill  who,  given  facts,  can  usually  deliver 
an  intelligent  opinion  and  judgment  quicker,  it  is 
alleged,  than  *'hell  can  scorch  a  feather." 

Having  never  been  nearer  hell  than  France 
and  Belgium  during  war-time,  I  am  unable  to 
say  if  the  above  time  limit  is  a  reasonable  one, 
but  cheerfully  and  with  confidence  I  submit  the 
following  facts,  history,  statements,  and  deduc- 
tions, both  Biblical  and  profane,  to  your  mature 
business  judgment,  well  knowing  that  they  will 
be  dealt  with  by  a  fifty-fifty  mixture  of  grey 
matter  and  horse  sense,  which  is  all  one  could  ask. 

THE  ROADBUILDER. 

October,  1920. 


THE  OBJECTIVE. 

Our  fighting  troops  in  France  and  Flan- 
ders, after  several  years  warfare  and  at  the  cost 
of  many  thousands  of  lives,  learned  that  a  limit- 
ed objective  properly  planned  was  the  one  thing 
necessary  before  leading  troops  ''over  the  top." 

This  lesson  remains  seared  somewhere  in 
my  interior  economy;  and  before  leading  you 
across  what  might  be  called  a  "No  Man's  Land," 
it  might  be  well  to  explain  that  the  objective  at 
present  in  view  is  to  cause  you  business  men  of 
the  U.S.A.,  citizens  of  the  greatest  republic  tlie 
world  ever  has  seen,  or  ever  will  see,  to  look  into 
some  facts  of  history  that  in  so  many  unmis- 
takable ways  seem  to  connect  your  country  with 
the  promises  made  by  God  through  the  mouths  of 
His  prophets  several  thousand  years  ago,  fore- 
telling the  great  people  you  were  to  become  as 
descendants  of  Manasseh,  the  eldest  son  of 
Joseph,  whom  you  will  remember  as  the  food  con- 
troller who  saved  not  only  Egypt  and  his  Hebrew 
brethien  but  the  world  at  large,  for  it  is  stated, 
"The    famine    was    over    all    the    face    of    the 

vii 


viii  THE  OBJECTIVE 

earth.    .    .    .    And  all  countries  came  into  Egypt 
to  Joseph  for  to  buy  corn." 

It  is  hoped  with  tliis  limited  objective  in 
view  to  secure  your  interest  and  goodwill  suffici- 
ently to  cause  you  to  study  the  subject,  though  I 
must  advise  you  before  you  start  that,  when  you 
study  it,  you're  a  ''gonner"!  The  theme  is  so 
captivating,  the  side  lines  so  many,  and  every  one 
so  interesting  that  your  golf  or  other  pursuits  are 
apt  to  be  neglected  while  you  delve  for  data  as  to 
what  is  going  to  be  the  outcome  of  the  present  un- 
settled condition  of  Europe,  of  America,  and  the 
whole  world,  because  it  is  all  foretold  in  Bible 
history,  which  I  like  to  call  His-storj,  i.e.,  God's 
story.  The  dime  novels  of  your  youthful  days  were 
no  more  thrilling  than  is  this  subject  to  every  man 
who  has  looked  into  it  carefully ;  and  the  more  and 
the  deeper  you  delve,  the  richer  the  plunder. 

This  limited  objective,  therefore,  is  only 
to  provide  you  with  a  jumping-off  spot  or  bridge- 
head for  the  real  attack  you  will  make  when  you 
have  absorbed  the  fact  that  God  selected  America 
for  you  and  foretold  through  the  mouths  of  the 
prophets  of  old,  the  ''people"  and  the  "great 
people"  you  were  to  become. 

WHien  away  from  home,  you  speak  of  the 
U.S.A.  as  God's  o^mi  country;  and  you  do  well, 
for  in  Psalms  60:  we  read:  ''God  hath  spoken 


THE    OBJECTIVE  ix 

in  his  lioliness.  .  .  .  Manasseh  is  Mine,"  and 
the  U.S.A.  is  Manasseh.  You  and  your  country 
are  His,  as  I  hope  you  will  agree,  if  you  have  the 
patience  to  wade  through  the  following  pages. 

It  surely  will  not  make  you  think  less  of 
your  country  to  know  that  the  Creator  in  His 
plan  for  this  world  selected  America  for  you  to 
grow  up  in  and  become  the  freedom-loving  peo- 
ple you  are.  It  mil  not  make  you  think  less  of 
your  national  inheritance  and  the  Anglo-Saxon- 
Celtic-British  stock  from  which  you  sprang  to 
learn  that  God  foretold,  through  the  mouths  of 
His  prophets  several  thousand  years  ago,  that 
you  were  to  break  away  and  set  up  in  business 
for  yourselves  and  from  a  little  one  you  would 
grow  into  a  great  nation;  and  that  you  would, 
like  Brother  John  Bull,  be  invincible  in  war ;  and 
that  He  would  give  you  both  the  wealth  of  the 
mine,  the  forest,  the  sea,  and  the  wealth  of  the 
land, — all  of  which  has  made  Young  America  the 
wonder  of  the  world,  and  has  thus  enabled  you  to 
help  do  His  work  with  wealth  at  your  command. 

God  also  laid  down  the  specifications  for 
the  job  you  were  to  help  to  do  in  this  world:  in 
freeing  the  slaves,  in  breaking  all  yokes,  and 
in  helping  to  carry  His  Word  and  good  works 
to  all  nations  together  w^ith  that  British  love  of 
freedom  and  justice  that  forms  a  part  of  your 
inheritance  from  your  forefathers. 


X  THE  OBJECTIVE 

If  any  of  your  immediate  forefathers  had 
left  you  the  one-thousandth  part  of  what  God 
bequeathed  to  you  and  your  fathers  as  an  inlieri- 
tance,  you  would  be  breaking  your  neck  to  find 
out  all  about  it,  so  I  hope  this  prospect  will  not 
leave  you  "cold  footed." 


FOEE WORD. 

Say,  reader,  did  you  ever  write  a  book? 
No!  Well,  neither  have  I,  so  we  break  even  on 
that  score. 

When  I  came  back  from  the  Front  in  the 
spring  of  1919,  I  had  a  decided  hunch  that  I 
should  put  on  paper  these  views  for  the  benefit 
of  my  numerous  Yankee  friends  and  perhaps  for 
a  few  others.  Now,  a  brain  wave  to  most  people 
is  a  creature  of  a  moment  or  two  and  then  passes 
off,  but  with  this  bit  of  Scotch  it  is  a  real  force 
to  be  reckoned  with  and  to  be  humored,  or  got  rid 
of,  or  else  followed. 

Choosing  the  latter  course,  I  started  to 
put  on  paper  these  ideas,  but  I  found  that  when 
I  conmienced  looking  up  any  of  the  reference 
books  or  the  Bible,  I  at  once  became  so  interested 
in  reading — and  I  read  night  after  night  and 
never  put  a  page  on  paper — ^that  my  writing 
languished.  Besides,  I  realized  I  was  never  made 
to  sit  still  long  enough  for  quill  driving  and  my 
mental  equipment  was  unsuited  for  such  work, 
for,  be  it  known,  the  call  of  the  "out  of  doors"  at 
the  age  of  thirteen  caused  me  to  play  "hookey" 
for  several  months  (there  being  no  truant  officers 

xi 


xii  FOREWORD 

in  those  days)  and  my  young  form  darkened 
school  doors  no  more. 

I  also  soon  recognized  that  this  was  essen- 
tially a  religious  question ;  and  while  I  have  been 
accused  of  many  things,  up  to  date  I  have  never 
heard  of  my  being  accused  of  being  pious  or 
religious,  as  I  have  never  felt  good  enough  to 
join  a  church,  though  I  once  had  the  compliment 
passed  by  a  very  reverend  gentleman  asking  me 
to  be  a  sidesman,  deacon  or  churchwarden,  I 
don't  remember  which.  But  I  was  not  for  having 
any,  though  I  attend  service  every  Sunday,  rain 
or  shine. 

Amid  these  discouragements,  the  calls  of 
business  with  a  turn-over  of  two  million  dollars, 
and  the  thronging  duties  that  fall  to  one's  por- 
tion in  a  big  city,  absorbed  a  good  deal  of  my 
steam,  so  that  when  I  reached  home  in  the  even- 
ing, it  was  slippers,  a  grate  fire,  a  game  of  bridge, 
and  a  growing  family  that  took  my  attention  ere 
the  feathers  wooed  me  thitherward. 

My  conscience  or  the  aforementioned 
hunch,  however,  never  lost  its  grip  but  kept 
urging  me  on  despite  the  numerous  times  I  waved 
it  aside  with  many  a  ''to-morrow  perhaps,"  or 
''next  week." 

Sitting  one  day  in  the  Club  after  luncheon, 
talking  to  a  young  friend  of  about  sixty-five  or 
seventy  summers  and  an  equal  number  of  winters, 
mostly  hard  ones  I  should  judge,  we  chanced  on 


FOREWORD  xiii 

this  subject  and  I  unloaded  some  of  the  following- 
data  off  my  chest. 

Turning  to  me  with  real  passion  in  his 
voice,  he  said,  ''I  would  give  anything  in  the 
world  that  I  possess  if  I  had  your  faith!" 

"Say,  Tom,  it's  not  that  costly!  Just  in- 
vest a  few  dollars  in  some  books  I  '11  give  you  a  list 
of,  and  I'll  bet  you  cannot  come  to  any  other 
conclusion  than  I  have." 

Turning  to  me  with  real  earnestness,  he 
said, 

**The  world  is  just  crying  out  for  the 
faith  that  you  have ;  and  you  would  be  doing  more 
real  service  and  good  than  you  could  estimate 
if  you  would  publish  what  you  have  just  told  me, 
as  you  have  a  way  of  saying  things  that  make 
them  stick  in  one's  mind.  You  would  be  doing  a 
real  service  to  humanity  in  renewing  the  faith 
that  we  were  taught  by  our  mothers  in  the  years 
long  ago.    We  need  it  sadly. ' ' 

This  talk  stirred  me  to  renewed  action ;  so, 
here  I  am  with  my  finger  in  the  ink-pot  under 
the  urge  of  my  young  friend,  whose  opinion  and 
judgment  I  value  highly,  trying,  and  trying  hard, 
to  write  a  book  that  will  show  you  the  everyday 
road  to  God's  Kingdom  that  is  right  here  on 
earth.  You  don't  have  to  die  to  get  it  as  it  is 
part  of  your  inheritance  while  you  are  alive  and 
going  strong. 

Having  served  this  notice  of  what  to  ex- 


xiv  FOREWORD 

pect,  I  seem  to  have  cleared  my  conscience,  be- 
cause, if  you  delve  further  into  these  pages,  its 
your  own  funeral,  as  you  have  had  fair  warning 
that  I  am  far  removed  from  being  properly 
equipped  or  suited  to  the  job  of  bookwriting. 
Think  of  it  rather  as  a  series  of  letters  from  a 
friend  direct  to  you.  I'm  appalled  at  the  num- 
ber of  capital  ^'I's"  in  tlie  foregoing,  but  it 
seems  impossible  to  dodge  them,  due  doubtless 
to  my  inexperience  and  not  knowing  how. 

I  really  have  little  that  is  original  to  offer 
you ;  but,  during  the  last  thirty-seven  years,  I  have 
read  over  250  books  and  pamphlets  on  this  sub- 
ject and  the  data  contained  therein  has  been  ab- 
sorbed during  those  years.  My  test  of  every  book 
has  been  to  check  up  its  statements  or  data  by  the 
Bible,  and  my  father  might  have  been  from 
Missouri,  instead  of  from  Glasgow,  Scotland,  by 
the  way  they  had  to  ' '  show  me ! " 

It  is  impossible,  therefore,  to  quote  all  the 
authors  whose  material  I  have  absorbed,  but  when 
I  make  a  statement  you  can  bank  on  its  being 
based  on  the  good  horse  sense  that  you  apply  to 
your  business  daily,  and  you  can  be  sure  that 
it  is  all  truth  as  it  is  given  me  to  see  it. 

Furthermore,  a  book  like  this  is  only  of 
as  much  good  to  you  as  the  use  you  make  of  it; 
and  if  you  desire  to  get  anything  out  of  it,  it 
will  have  to  be  studied  and  checked  up,  not  merely 
read  for  entertainment.     I  always  read  with  a 


FOREWORD  XV 

soft  pencil  in  my  hand.  For  every  opinion  ex- 
pressed that  I  cannot  see  or  do  not  believe,  I  put 
a  question  mark  in  the  margin.  I  tick  off  the 
things  I  agree  with  or  wish  to  refer  to  again.  I 
turn  down  the  corner  of  pages  I  wish  to  refer  to 
hurriedly,  and  I  can  glance  through  a  book  a 
second  time  from  cover  to  cover  in  half  an  hour. 
/  would  ash  as  a  favor  that  you  do  likewise  with 
this  hook,  because  to  really  get  it,  you  will  have 
to  study  it  over  many  times  to  absorb  most  of  the 
truth  it  contains.  Question  anything  you  cannot 
see  or  do  not  believe;  heavily  pencil  any  items 
that  strike  you  as  good  stuif ;  and  don't  be  afraid 
of  digging  into  the  Bible  to  do  a  bit  of  mining 
on  your  own  account,  as  not  one-half  of  it  as  yet 
is  properly  understood  by  most  people. 

You  do  your  business  six  days  a  week  on 
the  basis  of  taking  other  men's  word  for  details 
and  things  you  have  not  time  or  inclination  to  go 
into  or  figure  for  yourself.  I  would  ask  that 
you  do  the  same  with  me  as  you  do  with  your  sub- 
ordinates and  place  the  same  confidence  in  my 
judgment  and  accept  my  word  for  everything  I 
put  do^\Ti  here  until  you  finish  the  book  and  until 
you  find  me  in  error,  because  its  facts  are  as  true 
as  the  fact  that  you  have  a  head  on  your  shoulders. 

As  you  may  be  undecided  w^hether  to  accept 
the  foregoing  suggestion,  I  may  mention  that  my 
bank  backs  my  word  and  judgment  to  the  tune  of 
between  a  quarter  and  a  half  million  dollars  over-

habit  of  looking  into  the  innermost  recesses  of 
one's  make-up  ere  they  loosen  to  the  above  tune. 
Mention  is  made  of  this,  not  in  a  boastful 
manner,  nor  to  encourage  you  to  seek  a  loan,  but 
solely  because  I  think  it  well  you  should  know 
that  my  head  is  screwed  on  shoulders  as  straight 
and  as  tight  as  is  the  ordinary  business  man's 
who  has  to  rustle  among  his  competitors  daily  for 
his  provender  in  the  marts  of  a  large  city.

The  Destin3r  gT  c/lmerica 

CHAPTER    I. 

Thirt)^  years  ago  I  was  toiling  in  one  of  the 
large  cities  of  Wisconsin,  U.S.A.,  second  in  com- 
mand of  a  roadbuilding  company. 

My  chief  was  a  young  man  of  my  own  age, 
as  fat  as  a  match  and  measuring  six  feet  two 
inches  in  hi^  nightie  (in  those  >days  pyjamas 
were  not  standard  eqniioment  for  roadbuilders). 
This  young  man  was  a  down  east  Yankee  of,  I 
think,  the  Mayflower  extraction,  with  a  strong 
belief  and  hope  that  the  U.S.A.  would  finally 
float  the  Stars  and  Stripes  from  the  north  pole 
to  Panama.  Now,  while  I  respected  him  muchly 
for  his  many  charming  qualities  of  head  and 
heart,  we,  nevertheless,  used  to  split  hard  and 
fast  on  the  Yankee  flag  proposition  ever  floating 
over  Canada,  for,  be  it  known,  I  was  a  '^Canook" 
born  of  Scotch  and  English  parents:  on  my 
mother's  side  descended  from  those  fighting  war- 
rior Normans  whom  William  the  Conqueror  led 
into  Britain,  and  on  my  father's,  from  the  low- 
land Scotch  wdio  always  were  bonnie  fighters, 
wherever  the  cause  Avas,  igood — or  where  they 
thought  it  was,  which  was  the  same  thing  to  them. 

3 


4  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

I  had  a  strong  working  belief — namely, 
the  Anglo-Israel  theory — that  the  Anglo-Saxon- 
Celtic  people  headed  by  Jolin  Bull  and  Brother 
Jonathan  were  God's  chosen  peoples  with  whom 
He  was  going  to  subdue  the  heathen  and  whom  He 
was  going  to  use  as  His  battle  axe  and  as  His 
weapons  of  war,  to  bring  about  His  Kingdom 
on  earth,  according  to  Jeremiah  51 :  20 : 

"Thou  [Israel]  art  my  battle  axe  and  weapons 
of  war :  for  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  nations, 
and  with  thee  will  I  destroy  kingdoms  [in  and  through 
Israel  should  His  Kingdom  be  manifest  on  earth] ." 

These  peoples  were  to  be  invincible  in  war.  Their 
mission  was  to  free  the  slaves  and  the  oppressed, 
to  bind  up  the  broken,  to  break  every  yoke,  to 
keep  God's  laws,  to  carry  the  Gospel  to  the 
heathen,  to  settle  the  waste  places  of  the  earth, 
etc.,  and  in  this  way  make  manifest  God's  King- 
dom right  in  America,  Canada,  Britain,  and  the 
other  Anglo-Saxon  nations. 

Ferrar  Fenton's  Version  in  modern  Eng- 
lish of  Isaiah  58 : 6  and  7  reads : 

"Is  not  this  the  Fast  I  approve? — 

To  free  those  who  are  wrongfully  bound? 

And  to  loosen  your  slaves  from  their  yoke? 

And  to  seek  out  and  free  the  oppressed? 

And  that  you  should  remove  every  wrong? 

And  to  give  to  the  famishing  food? 

And  poor  wanderers  to  bring  to  your  house? 

And  those  whom  you  see  naked  to  clothe? 

And  to  hide  not  yourself  from  your  kind?" 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  5 

I  had  been  inoculated  with  this  belief  in 
1884  and  it  had  what  the  doctors  would  call  a 
good  take;  but,  unlike  the  measles,  flu  and  a 
few  other  odds  and  ends  that  have  come  my  way 
before  and  since  and  left  me  none  the  worse  for 
their  visits,  this  Anglo-Saxon-Celtic  invasion  of 
microbes  in  my  system  has  grown  until  now  I 
believe  if  I  was  scratched  anywhere,  I  would  ooze 
Bible  prophecies  concerning  Israel  and  her 
future. 

When  my  slim  chief  talked  about  God's 
country  (the  U.S.A.),  I  agreed  that  it  really  was 
God's  country  and  belabored  him  with  what  the 
prophets  said  about  America.  I  furthermore  gave 
him  books  on  the  subject  printed  in  1879,  which, 
by  the  way,  predicted  the  taking  of  Egypt; — as 
was  accomplished  in  1882; — also  the  taking  of 
Palestine,  by  Ephraim  Israel  (England)  "doing 
in"  Edom  (Turkey);  the  handing  of  the  Holy 
Land  to  the  Jews  for  a  national  home  under 
Britain;  the  absolute  break-up  of  Russia;  and 
many  other  things  that  were  based  on  the  Saxon- 
Celtic  people  alone  fitting  into  the  scheme  as  God's 
chosen  people  Israel — Israel  later  being  divided 
into  two  separate  Hebrew  nations:  Judali  being 
the  Jews,  and  Levi  and  the  other  ten  tribes  form- 
ing the  nation  Israel,  which  was  lost  to  most  his- 
torians. 

Times  change;  and  men  with  them.  My 
early  chief  drifted  to  that  big  city  of  skyscrapers

— New  York — and  became  tlie  father  of  a  lovely 
family  of  boys  and  girls,  covered  his  bones  with 
nmnerons  layers  of  surplus  tissue  until  a  two 
hundred  pound  scale  would  not  scale  him,  and 
the  war  found  him  general-manager  of  one  of 
America's  big  trusts  turning  out  munitions  at  a 
rate  to  surfeit  his  shareholders  with  British  and 
French  gold  taken  in  exchange  for  materials  for 
the  stuffing  of  high  explosive  shells,  etc. 

One  day  in  the  spring  of  1918,  in  a  war- 
ridden  section  of  France,  my  batman  brought  to 
my  billet  a  letter  that  I  at  once  recognized  as 
the  handwriting  of  my  boss  of  about  thirty  years 
before.  Congratulating  me  on  my  work,  he  wound 
up  his  epistle  by  asking  how  the  war  fitted  into  the 
ideas  that  I  used  to  bethump  him  with  in  the 
early  nineties.  Wliat  did  I  think  would  be  the 
outcome  of  the  war?  In  replying,  I  pointed  out 
that  when  we  had  been  duly  punished  for  our  na- 
tional sins,  we  were  as  certain  to  win  throug'h  as 
the  sun  was  to  rise.  Israel  was  told  that  when 
they  obeyed  not  God's  connnandments  and  God's 
laws  they  would  be  punished.  And  how  would 
they  be  punished  ?  With  the  stripes  of  men.  By 
tlie  Assyrian  coming  down  on  them  lil?:e  a  wolf 
on  the  fold.  The  Assyrians  took  Israel  captive 
starting  in  tlie  year  741  B.C.  and  finishing  in  the 
year  676  B.C.,  thereby  fulfilling  wliat  the  prophet 
Isaiah  had  predicted, — that  in  seventy-five  years 
Ephraim   should   be   broken   and   not   a   people.

Tliey  were  scattered  among  the  Assyrians  across 
the  Euphrates,  At  that  time  the  Assyrians  cut 
down  Israel's  vines  and  fruit  trees,  a  thing  for- 
bidden in  the  Bible.  Prussia  is  modern  Assyria, 
and  when  the  Huns  retired  to  the  Hindenburg  line 
in  the  spring  of  1917,  they  ran  true  to  type.  In  the 
Bapaume  sector  they  cut  down  every  vine  and 
fruit  tree  in  every  French  garden  for  fifty  miles, 
and  many  of  these  trees  came  out  in  bloom  weeks 
later  as  they  lay  murdered  on  the  ground.  It  was 
one  of  the  saddest  sights  I  saw  at  the  Front.  Wil- 
fully to  saw  down  fruit  trees  that  were  of  no 
use  to  them  or  to  us  was  fouling  the  usages  of 
war.  But  Germany  was  out  to  maim  France  for 
life,  and  their  poisoning  wells  and  murdering  fruit 
trees  was  a  small  item  in  the  long  list  of  barbari- 
ties and  wilful  premeditated  destructions. 

Though  at  the  time  of  writing  to  my  friend 
we  had  been  driven  back  on  Amiens  and  ''had 
our  backs  to  the  wall, ' '  I  wrote  that  when  we  had 
received  our  due  punishment  for  our  neglect  to 
clean  up  Turkey  for  their  slaughtering  of  the 
Armenians  in  Gladstone's  time;  for  our  neglect 
to  fulfil  our  word  to  help  Denmark  when  Germany 
stole  Schleswig-Holstein  from  her;  for  our  neg- 
lect to  help  France  in  1870 ;  for  our  other  national 
sins ;  and  for  our  neglect  of  God ; — then  we  would 
win  through  because  we  are  the  everlasting  king- 
dom, the  Kingdom  of  Israel,  spoken  of  by  Jere- 
miah the  prophet. 


8  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

"For  I  am  with  thee  [Israel],  saitli  the  Lord,  to 
save  thee :  though  I  make  a  full  end  of  all  nations 
whither  I  have  scattered  thee,  yet  will  I  not  make  a 
full  end  of  thee :  but  I  will  correct  thee  in  measure, 
and  will  not  leave  thee  altogether  unpunished." 
(Jer.  30:11.) 

I  had  promised  my  ^\T.fe  in  Jime,  1918,  to 
eat  Christmas  dimier,  1918,  Avith  her  and  the 
kiddies  in  Canada  Avith  the  war  all  over,  and  I 
ventured  the  opinion  to  my  friend  that  we  would 
be  likely  to  have  Germany  licked  by  August,  1918. 

The  newspapers  of  my  home  towm  pub- 
lished this  opinion  in  June  of  1918,  because  the 
real  soldiers  on  the  British  staffs  then  said  we 
were  in  for  two  more  years  war. 

Tlie  mills  of  God  grind  slowly,  but  they 
grind  exceeding  sure.  Doubtless  Gladstone 
thought  he  was  saving  lives  by  not  cleaning  up 
the  "Sick  Man  of  Europe"  when  all  Christendom 
cried  out  at  the  Armenian  murders  of  that  day. 
But  what  was  the  direct  result  of  his  saving  the 
Turks?  The  hundreds  of  thousands  of  British 
and  their  Allies  killed  and  wounded  at  Kut, 
Gallipoli,  etc.,  by  Turkey.  If  Britain  had  per- 
formed her  national  duty  then,  there  would  have 
been  no  vigorous  Turkey  to  assist  Germany  in 
1914.  What  did  it  cost  Britain  for  this  national 
political  weakness  in  wounded,  in  lives  lost,  and 
treasure  spent  during  those  five  awful  years  of 
carnage  in  Europe's  cockpit — Flanders  and  Nor-

them  France?  If  Germany  had  not  been  allowed 
to  take  Schleswig-Holstein  and  had  not  been 
given  Heligoland  (given  to  Britain  by  the  Creator 
as  a  waste  place),  there  would  have  been  no  Kiel 
Canal ;  and  if,  in  addition,  Germany  had  not  been 
allowed  to  overrun  France  in  1870,  this  last  war 
would  have  been  finished  in  perhaps  six  months 
or  a  3^ear.  I  believe  it  pays  nations  as  well  as 
business  men  to  do  the  right  thing  at  the  right 
time. 

God  gave  Israel  a  world  commission  down 
through  the  ages,  to  break  every  yoke  and  lift 
every  burden.  But  the  American  or  United 
States  section  of  Israel  broke  this  law  of  God  by 
placing  5^okes  on  negro  men  and  women  and 
making  them  slaves.  "With  what  result?  Did 
they  get  away  with  it?  For  a  time,  just  as 
Britain  did  with  saving  Turkey ;  but  the  mills  of 
God  were  grinding  out  His  judginent  on  this  sec- 
tion of  His  chosen  people,  and  that  wrong  had  to 
be  righted.  How?  Again  by  the  stripes  of  men. 
South  against  North,  and  your  President  Lincoln 
finally  said,  *' Slavery  must  be  and  will  be  abol- 
ished and  these  United  States  will  not  be  divided 
in  twain,  half  slave  and  half  free. ' ' 

Wlien  the  tribe  of  Manasseh,  U.S.A.,  were 
in  Canaan,  they  were  in  two  parts,  as  divided  by 
Joshua:  east  of  the  Jordan  and  west  of  the  Jor- 
dan.    It  is  co-incident  that,  when  they  were  in 


10  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

America,  2,500  years  later,  the  Dixie  line  divided 
them  again  into  two  parts.  North  and  South. 

God  raised  np  Moses  to  unite  and  lead 
the  united  states  or  tribes  of  Israel  out  of  bond- 
age in  Eg}^t.  So,  I  believe,  did  he  raise  up 
Abraham  Lincoln,  Man  of  Grod,  born  of  Puritan 
stock  from  Britain,  the  great  leader  of  Manasseh, 
the  United  States  of  America — that  "great  peo- 
ple" the  prophets  had  predicted  they  were  to 
become.  Witli  what  wise  and  farseeing  judgment 
did  Lincoln  work  towards  unity,  to  win  the  war 
and  establish  peace! 

Read  John  Wesley  Hill's  Ahraliam  Lin- 
coln Man  of  God,  with  Forewards  by  Major-Gen- 
eral Leonard  Wood,  David  Lloyd  George,  and 
President  AVarren  G.  Harding,  if  you  desire  to 
know  how  like  Moses  he  was  in  leading  the  Ameri- 
can children  of  Israel  through  their  trials  and 
tribulations  toward  peace  and  unity. 

Lincoln  ciuotations  herein  are  all  taken 
from  Mr.  Hill's  book.  If  ever  a  man  placed  re- 
liance on  God  for  actual  everyday  perforaiance 
right  on  American  soil,  in  answer  to  prayer,  that 
man  was  your  martyred  President,  Abraham  Lin- 
coln. Lincoln  believed  that  God  answered  prayer 
for  America ;  and  after  the  bitter  disappointments 
and  agonies  of  the  dark  days  of  1863,  after 
Fredericksburg  had  fallen,  when  treason  stalked 
through  the  land,  he  issued  the  following  pro- 
clamation, Mar<?h  30,  1863 : 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  11 

"Whereas,  The  Senate  of  the  United  States,  de- 
voutly recognizing  the  supreme  authority  and  just 
government  of  Almighty  God  in  all  the  affairs  of  men 
and  nations,  has  by  a  resolution  requested  the  Presi- 
dent to  designate  and  set  apart  a  day  for  National 
prayer  and  humiliation,  and  whereas,  it  is  the  duty 
of  Nations  as  well  as  of  men  to  own  their  dependence 
upon  the  overruling  power  of  God,  to  confess  their 
sins  and  transgression  in  hum'ble  sorrow,  yet  with 
assured  hope  that  genuine  repentence  will  lead  to 
mercy  and  pardon,  and  to  recognize  the  sublime  truth 
announced  in  the  Holy  Scriptures  and  proven  by  all 
history,  'That  those  Nations  only  are  blessed  whose 
God  is  the  Lord.' 

"And,  inasmuch  as  we  know  that  by  His  divine 
law  nations,  like  individuals,  are  subjected  to  punish- 
ments, and  chastisements  in  this  world,  may  we  not 
justly  fear  that  the  awful  calamity  of  civil  war  which 
now  desolates  the  land  may  be  but  a  punishment 
inflicted  upon  us  for  our  presumptions  sins  to  the 
needful  end  of  our  National  reformation  as  a  whole 
people ! 

"We  have  been  the  recipients  of  the  choicest 
bounties  of  heaven ;  we  have  been  preserved  these 
many  years  in  peace  and  prosperity;  we  have  grown 
in  number,  wealth,  and  power  as  no  other  Nation  has 
ever  grown.    But  we  have  forgotten  God. 

"We  have  forgotten  the  gracious  hand  which 
preserved  us  in  peace  and  multiplied  and  enriched 
and  strengthened  us,  and  we  have  vainly  imagined, 
in  the  deceitfulness  of  our  hearts,  that  all  these  bles- 
sings were  produced  by  some  superior  wisdom  and 
virtue  of  our  own.  Intoxicated  with  unbroken  suc- 
cess we  have  become  too  self-sufficient  to  feel  the 
necessity  of  redeeming  and  preserving  grace,  too 
proud  to  pray  to  the  God  who  made  us.  It  be- 
hooves us,  then,  to  humble  ourselvas  before  the 
offended  power,  to  confess  our  National  sins,  and 
to  pray  for  clemency  and  forgiveness. 


12  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

''Now,  therefore,  in  compliance  with  the  request, 
and  fully  cancutTing  in  the  views  of  the  Senate,  I 
do  by  this  my  proclamation  designate  and  set 
apart  Thursday  the  30th  day  of  April,  1863,  as  a 
day  of  National  humiliation,  to  abstain  on  that  day 
from  their  ordinary  secular  pursuits,  and  to  unite 
in  their  several  places  of  public  worship  and  devoted 
to  the  humble  discharge  of  the  religious  duties  proper 
to  that  solemn  occasion. 

"All  this  being  done  in  sincerity  and  truth  let 
us  then  rest  humbly  in  the  hope  authorized  by  the 
divine  teachings,  that  the  united  cry  of  the  Nation 
will  be  heard  on  high  and  answered  with  blessings 
no  less  than  the  pardon  of  our  National  sins  and  the 
restoration  of  our  now  divided  and  suffering  country 
to  its  former  happy  condition  of  unity  and  peace." 

These  prayers  of  a  nation  and  of  its  Presi- 
dent were  answered  as  were  also  the  prayers  of 
General  George  AVashington  for  his  people  and 
his  army  in  1776-1799.*  And  Lincoln  took  many 
many  occasions  to  unite  the  nation  in  thanksgiv- 
ing to  the  Ahnighty  for  the  success  the  Almighty 
brought  to  their  arms. 

May  9,  1864,  when  General  Grant  was 
pounding  Lee's  army  with  artillery  and  infantry 

*Read  George  Washington,  the  Christian,  by  William  J. 
Johnson  and  see  how  absolutely  this  Father  of  his  Country  de- 
pended u])on  prayer  to  the  miphty  God  of  Battles  during  those 
trying  times  at  Valley  Forge.  See  his  prayer  on  page  33:  "Holy 
and  eternal  Lord  God  who  art  the  King  of  Heaven  and  the 
Watchman  of  Israel  that  never  slivmbereth  or  sleepeth.  What 
shall  we  render  unto  thee  for  all  thy  benefits?  because  thou  hast 
inclined  thine  ears  unto  me  therefore  will  I  call  on  thee  as  long 
as  I  live." 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  13 

attacks  and  following  the  bloody  battles  of  the 
Wilderness,  Lincoln  issued  the  follomng: 

"To  the  friends  of  Union  and  Libert}^:  Enough 
is  known  of  army  operations  within  the  last  five 
days,  to  claim  a  special  gratitude  to  God,  while  what 
remains  undone  demands  our  most  sincere  prayer 
to  and  reliance  upon  Him,  without  Whom  all  our 
efforts  is  in  vain.  I  recommend  that  all  patriots  at 
their  homes,  m  their  place  of  public  worship,  and 
w'herever  they  may  be,  unite  in  common  thanksgiving 
and  prayer  to  Almighty  God." 

Lincoln  fully  believed  that  our  Creator 
was  keeping  watch  over  the  Republic  and  Lin- 
coln was  right;  God  had  promised  His  nation 
Israel  that  He  would  be  with  them  wherever 
they  went  and  when  they  sought  Him,  they  would 
surely  find  Him.  ''Yielding  and  accommodating 
in  nonessentials  he  was  inflexibly  firm  on  a  prin- 
ciple or  position  deliberately  taken." 

''Let  us  have  faith  that  Right  makes 
Might,"  he  said,  "and  in  that  faith  let  us  to  the 
end  dare  to  do  our  duty  as  we  understand  it." 

Lincoln  was  called  to  see  that  God's  law 
was  carried  out  in  the  country  selected  by  the 
Creator  for  the  thirteenth  tribe  of  Israel  (Man- 
asseh)  to  inhabit.  He  strove  to  bring  unity  and 
law — to  make  God's  law,  and  His  connnand  to 
break  every  yoke  and  lift  every  burden,  the  law 
of  America  from  the  northernmost  point  in  the 
North  to  the  southern  end  of  the  South. 


14  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

What  did  it  cost  America  for  not  knowing 
their  identity  and  God's  plan  for  running  this 
new  world,  of  which  we  are  the  heirs?  The 
Encyclopedia  Britannica  puts  the  Union  losses 
in  killed  at  359,528  men,  the  losses  of  the  South 
as  many,  and  in  addition  over  280,000  in  the 
North  and  South  died  in  a  few  years  as  a  result 
of  wounds,  hardships,  etc.  That  is,  roughlj^,  one 
million  of  your  finest  men  killed,  and  by  1879,  it 
had  cost  your  Government  in  cash,  including  pen- 
sions, $6,190,000,000.  ''Who  is  blind,  but  my  ser- 
vant [Israel]?" 

Wliere  is  the  financier  to-day  who  would 
think  that  America's  investment  in  slaves  turned 
out  to  be  a  paying  proposition?  Yet,  Americans 
to-day  are  making  similar  investments  that  will 
all  have  to  be  paid  for  by  the  lives  of  your  choice- 
est  men  and  by  billions  of  money,  because  you 
are  blind  to  your  identity  and  to  the  Creator's 
plan  for  your  national  guidance ;  and,  as  a  nation, 
your  elected  representatives  are  breaking  God's 
divine  commands,  and  your  children  and  mine 
will  pay  in  full  measure  for  your  neglect  and  my 
neglect  for  not  seeing  that  our  representatives 
carry  out  the  Creator's  coimnission,  given  to  His 
people  Israel,  for  ive  Celto-Saxons  are  Israel  plus 
all  believers  who  accept  Christ  and  so  are  grafted 
into  Israel's  vine. 

When  I  see  some  of  your  enthusiastic 
people  who  so  firmly  believe  in  the  League  of 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  15 

Nations  as  a  guarantee  against  war,  I  turn  me  to 
the  greatest  history  (His-story,  God's  story)  of 
the  greatest  people  the  world  has  ever  possessed, 
the  Bible,  and  I  find  '' Armageddon"  is  yet  to  be 
fought;  and  ere  it  is  fought,  comes  a  time  of 
trouble,  such  a  time  of  trouble  as  the  world  has 
never  seen  before  nor  ever  will  see,  "the  time  of 
Jacob 's  trouble ' ' — and  we  Canadians,  Yanks  and 
British  are  all  of  Jacob's  seed.  But  at  the  end 
we  shall  finally  be  saved  out  of  it. 

The  allwise  Creator  laid  down  His  plan 
through  the  mouths  of  His  prophets  and  later 
through  His  son,  our  Lord,  for  the  handling  of  all 
world  problems  by  His  executive  nation  Israel, 
of  which  the  church  was  a  part.  *'Thou,  Israel 
art  my  servant."  "With  thee  will  I  break  in 
pieces  the  nations."  Did  the  church  ever  smash 
nations?  Yet  ministers  claim  the  church  is 
Israel!  "He  cast  out  the  heathen  also  before 
them."  "I  will  subdue  thine  enemies."  "They 
that  strive  with  thee  shall  perish."  Also  "Be  ye 
not  unequally  yoked  together. ' ' 

Then  after  we  won  the  war,  along  comes 
our  politicians  and  yours  at  Versailles;  and  in- 
stead of  taking  the  allwise  Creator's  plan  for 
peace  and  world  progress  as  their  basis,  with- 
out publieh^,  at  any  rate,  asking  guidance 
of  God  through  prayer,  such  as  George  "Washing- 
ton and  Abraham  Lincoln  always  asked  for  and 
received,  these  men  start  in  Avithout  any  public 


16  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

recognition  of  the  almighty  Creator,  Kuler,  and 
Upholder  of  this  universe  of  His  and  presume  to 
lay  do^Am  laws  and  rules  to  guide  God's  world 
to  peace  and  prosperity — and  look  at  the  results 
to-day!  Many  of  the  best  people  among  all  na- 
tions approve:  but,  gentlemen,  it  is  foredoomed 
to  failure.  " Be  ye  not  unequally  yoked  together ' ' 
is  as  applicable  to-day  as  the  first  day  that  it  was 
spoken.  * '  Say  ye  not,  A  confederacy,  to  all  them 
to  whom  this  people  shall  say,  A  confederacy; 
neither  fear  ye  their  fear,  nor  be  afraid.  Sanctify 
the  Lord  of  hosts  Himself;  and  let  Him  be  your 
fear."  (Isa.  8:12,  13.) 

The  men  who  think  that  they  can  yoke  to- 
gether forty — or  is  it  forty-five  divergent  out- 
fits ? — with  ideals  as  opposite  as  the  north  pole  is 
from  the  south,  and  that  this  aggregation  can 
work  justly  and  bring  in  peace  and  righteousness 
when  the  workers  of  iniquity  get  among  them 
have  got  another  think  or  two  coming  their  way 
ere  they  see  daylight  and  peace. 

The  allwise  Creator,  who  saw  the  end  from 
the  beginning,  laid  down  an  entirely  different 
plan,  which,  when  acknowledged  and  accepted  by 
Britain,  America,  and  their  offspring,  will  cause 
a  league  of  the  Anglo-Saxon-Celtic  nations  the 
world  over,  and  they,  having  the  same  language, 
ideas,  and  ideals  of  justice  and  truth,  and  being 
God's  chosen  company  or  commonwealth  of  na- 
tions,  will  bring   about  what   the   Creator   has 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  17 

ordained  from  the  beginning — righteous  peace. 
But  first  Armageddon  will  have  to  be  fought  and 
won,  and  America  will  in  that  day  fight  side  by 
side  with  their  brother,  Ephraim  of  the  Isles, 
John  Bull,  and  the  other  Anglo-Saxon  nations 
from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth.  India, 
Arabia,  and  Japan  will  be  with  us  and  again  we 
will  win,  as  we  did  the  last  war,  through  divine 
help.  Then  and  not  till  then  can  the  Armstrongs, 
the  Vickers  Co.,  the  Krupps,  the  United  States 
Steel  Corporation,  and  all  the  other  armament 
makers  the  world  over  scrap  their  armament  de- 
partments, because  war  will  be  over  and  done 
with  for  a  thousand  years  and,  in  the  ordinary 
course  of  events,  if  my  reckoning  is  correct, 
a  Charles  M.  Schwab  will  be  on  hand  to  do  his 
scrapping  for  his  company.  Perhaps  he  may 
take  advantage  of  this  advance  information  and 
get  his  plans  matured  and  ready  for  the  coming 
change.     Stranger  things  have  happened. 

When  the  world  is  in  the  melting  pot,  what 
is  it  worth  in  dollars  and  cents,  and  even  in  the 
depreciated  pounds,  shillings  and  pence,  to  know 
what  is  on  the  cards  for  the  future  of  Britain  and 
America. 

Well,  it  is  all  to  be  had  in  the  cheapest 
book  published  in  the  world,  our  Bible,  and  this

to-day,  because  unenlightened  ministers  of  the 
Gospel  have  switched  us  on  to  a  siding  mth  a 
dead  end,  though  our  ticket  calls  for  a  Pullman 
on  the  fastest  train  operating  on  the  main  lines 
of  the  continental  through  express. 

We  think  highly  of  a  stockbroker  who  can 
foresee  the  turn  of  the  market  a  few  days  or 
weeks  ahead,  in  time  to  let  us  in  or  out,  as  we 
happen  to  want.  What  should  Ave  tliink  of  one 
wdio  over  2500  years  ago  foretold  that  Ephraim, 
Israel  (the  English)  Avould  "do  in"  Turkey,  or 
Edom,  as  she  did  in  1917  just  at  the  end  of  the 
predicted  1335  lunar  years  of  the  Turkish  calen- 
dar (and  so  ended  the  desolation  standing  in 
the  Holy  Place — see  Daniel  12) ;  who  foretold 
that  Judah  and  Israel  would  again  possess  their 
possessions  in  the  Holy  Land  which  extends  from 
the  river  Nile  to  the  Euphrates;  and  who  fore- 
told the  earlier  taking  of  the  Ten  Lost  Tribes 
captive  by  the  Assyrians,  and  later  the  scattering 
and  sifting  of  them  among  all  the  nations  yet  not 
a  grain  of  the  seed  should  he  lost.    Ezekiel  said: 

"Thus  saith  tlie  Lord  God ;  Ahhough  I  have  cast 
thera  [Israel]  far  off  among  the  heathen,  and  although 
I  have  scattered  them  among  the  countries  yet  will  I 
be  to  them  as  a  little  sanctuary  in  the  countries  where 
they  shall  come."     (Ezek.  11: 16.) 

This  statement  could  not  refer  to  the  King- 
dom of  Judah  (tlie  Jews).  They  were  not  carried 
captive  by  Nebuchadnezzar,  nor  was  Jerusalem 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  19 

destroyed  until  seven  years  after  this  prediction 
was  made,  so  that  it  must  refer  to  the  northern 
kingdom  of  Israel,  the  Ten  Tribes  that  had  been 
carried  captive  by  Assyria  123  years  previously. 

God  has  been  ''as  a  sanctuary"  to  all 
peoples  who  have  gathered  into  the  British  Isles 
from  1600  B.C.  From  this  gathering  together  in 
the  "isles  of  the  west"  one  branch  was  to  break 
away  (U.S.A.),  because  the  way  was  too  strait 
and  they  must  have  more  freedom  to  practice 
their  religion  in  the  way  they  desired,  and  break- 
ing away,  they  were  to  become  a  great  people 
who,  wdth  Mother  Britain,  were  to  be  a  blessing 
to  all  nations  of  the  earth. 

"The  children  which  thou  [Israel]  shalt 
have,  after  thou  hast  lost  the  other  [the  U.S.A. 
breaking  away],  shall  say  in  thine  ears.  The  place 
is  too  strait  [too  small]  for  me:  give  place  to  me 
that  I  may  dwell."  (Isa.  49:20.)  And  from 
Mother  Britain  then  started  those  people  who 
built  up  these  wonderful  young  nations,  Canada, 
Australia,  New  Zealand,  Newfoundland,  South 
Africa,  etc. 

The  time  of  treading  down  the  Holy 
Places  in  Palestine  by  the  Turk  having  ceased, 
the  time  of  the  Gentiles  is  finished  and  we  can 
tell  just  how  far  along  we  are  and  can  estimate 
when,  according  to  the  prophets,  the  other  trials 
due  us  are  coming,  and  when  that  awful  day  of 
God    Almighty,    "Armageddon",    is    to    come. 


20  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

wherein  Israel  is  specifically  warned:  ^^ Prepare 
ye  for  battle. ' '  As  yet  our  politicians  and  leaders 
and,  I  am  sorry  to  say,  our  preachers  are  blind 
as  bats  towards  this  most  essential  leadership 
of  the  prophetic  teachings  confirmed  by  Jesus 
when  he  was  on  earth,  for  our  guidance. 

"Jerusalem  shall  be  trodden  down  of  the  Gentiles 
[how  long?],  until  the  times  of  the  Gentiles  he  ful- 
filled/'    (Luke  21:24.) 

"Blindness  in  part  is  happened  to  Israel  [for 
how  long?],  until  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles  be  come 
in/'     (Rom.  11:25.) 

Well,  Jerusalem  having  ceased  to  be  trod- 
den do"\\m  by  the  Turk  (Gentiles),  the  time  is  now 
ripe  for  the  Americans  to  cease  their  blindness 
towards  this  most  essential  question  for  your 
national  guidance.  In  other  words,  get  on  to 
your  job!  See  who  you  are,  and  act  according  to 
God's  plans  and  specifications. 

Most  religious  teachers  are  strong  on  data 
for  the  next  world,  quite  overlooking  the  fact  that 
two-thirds  of  the  Old  Testament  and  much  of  the 
New  deals  with  prophecies  and  instructions  for 
Israel,  to  be  used  and  fulfilled  in  this  everyday 
old  world  of  ours  here  and  now,  where  God's 
Kingdom  is  and  has  been  during  the  last  three 
thousand  years.  AVhen  Jesus  was  on  earth,  he 
said,  ''I  am  not  sent  but  unto  the  lost  sheep  of 
the  house  of  Israel."  (Matt.  15:24.)  If  the 
Father  of  all  sent  Christ  ''but  unto  the  lost  sheep 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  21 

of  the  house  of  Israel,"  as  our  Lord  told  the 
people  He  did,  it  would  seem  rather  important 
that  our  spiritual  leaders  and  parsons  should 
get  a  hump  on  and  hasten  to  find  these  select  but 
lost  people,  because  no  man,  I  care  not  how  high 
he  be  in  church  or  state,  can  properly  interpret 
the  Bible  unless  he  can  locate  the  nation  Israel 
(as  distinct  from  Judah),  with  which  two-thirds 
of  the  Bible  deals;  and  don't  forget  that  Israel, 
God's  chosen  Hebrew  people,  are  mentioned  in 
prophetic  dispatches  some  2,543  times,  so  can 
readily  be  traced  and  found.  Jesus  said  (Matt. 
5:17):  '* Think  not  that  I  am  come  to  destroy 
the  law,  or  the  prophets:  I  am  not  come  to  des- 
troy, but  to  fulfill." 

Now,  here  are  all  those  prophecies  con- 
cerning the  nation  Israel  with  David's  seed  rul- 
ing during  the  ''Latter  Days"  when  Jerusalem 
Should  cease  to  be  trodden  down  by  the  Gentiles 
and  be  captured  and  restored  to  the  Jews  by 
Israel.  What  have  our  blind  teachers  of  God's 
Word  to  say  that  will  help  us  find  the  way  laid 
down  for  both  the  United  States  and  the  British 
sections  of  Israel  to  follow  in  these  troublous 
times  ? 

Jesus  in  Luke  19,  when  questioned  by  his 
followers  whether  the  Kingdom  of  God  should 
immediately  appear,  referring  to  his  omu  mission 
on  earth  at  that  date  said:  "A  certain  nobleman 
went  into  a  far  country  to  receive  for  himself  a 


22  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

kingdom,  and  to  return.  And  he  called  his  ten  ser- 
vants [note  the  number]  and  delivered  them  ten 
pounds,  and  said  unto  them.  Occupy  [my  kingdom] 
until  I  come.  But  his  citizens  [the  Jews  of  Judah] 
hated  him,  and  sent  a  message  after  him,  saying : 
We  will  not  have  this  man  to  reign  over  us." 
You  will  see  in  verse  27  what  becomes  of  these 
Jews  who  refuse  to  have  him  reign  over  them. 

In  Isaiah,  Chapter  41,  verse  8,  Israel  is 
specifically  branded  as  ''my  servant."  "But  thou, 
Israel,  art  my  servant . . .  Thou  w'hom  I  have  taken 
from  the  ends  of  earth,  and  called  thee  from 
the  chief  men  thereof,  and  said  unto  thee.  Thou 
art  my  servant;  I  have  chosen  thee." 

You  will  note  that  Jesus  did  not  hand  his 
"kingdom"  over  to  the  churches  as  the  churches' 
number  throughout  both  Old  and  New  Testaments 
is  seven.  Neither  did  he  hand  it  to  the  disciples  be- 
cause they  were  twelve  in  number.  But  he  did  hand 
it  over  to  the  ten-tribed  House  of  Israel,  his  ten 
servants,  and  commissioned  them  to  occupy  his 
hingdom,  over  which  the  enduring  throne  of  David 
was  to  rule  until  He  should  again  come  whose 
right  it  is  as  King  of  Kings  and  ruler  of  Israel. 

When  Jesus  was  arranging  for  the  future, 
what  commission  did  he  give  to  his  disciples? 
"Go  not  into  the  way  of  the  Gentiles,  and  into 
any  city  of  the  Samaritans  enter  ye  not:  but  go 
rather  to  the  lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel," 
he  said.  One  is  safe  in  saying  that  our  Lord  knew 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  23 

the  Hebrew  Bible  inside  out  and  God's  plan  for 
Israel  down  through  the  ages;  hence  he  sent  his 
chosen  worlnnen,  the  disciples,  to  preach  to  those 
''lost  sheep"  first,  that,  having  converted  them, 
they  would  be  his  instruments  for  bringing  God's 
light,  law,  and  justice  to  the  whole  world,  as  was 
predicted  in  the  prophecies  which  he  said  he 
came  to  fulfill. 

Ask  your  parson  to-day:  where  is  Israel, 
God's  chosen  people  who  were  to  be  not  the  least 
but  the  chief  est  of  nations  on  earth  I  And  the 
chances  are  990  to  1,000  that  you  '11  have  him  up  a 
tree.  He'll  likely  say  they  are  the  Jews,  though 
they  are  as  much  Jews  as  a  Scotchman  is  an 
Englishman;  an  Englishman  an  Irishman;  or  as 
an  American  is  an  Icelander,  and  no  more,  as  I 
will  prove  to  you  further  on. 

Ezekiel,  after  condemning  the  shepherds, 
preachers  and  leaders  of  Israel  (the  Anglo-Saxon 
nations)  says: 

"I  will  require  my  flock  at  their  hand,  and  cause 
them  [the  shepherds]  to  cease  from  feeding-  the 
flock  .  .  .  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold, 
I,  even  I,  will  both  search  my  sheep,  and  seek  them 
out.  .  .  .  And  ye  my  flock,  the  flock  of  my  pas- 
ture, are  men,  and  /  am  your  God,  saith  the  Lord 
God."     (Ezek.  34:10,  11,  3L) 

Wliat  an  indictment  against  the  ministers 
of  America,  Canada,  Britain,  Australia,  New 
Zealand,  and  the  others,  for  their  failure  to  seek 


24  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

God's  chosen  nation,  Israel,  His  ten  chosen  ser- 
vants, the  Ten  Lost  Tribes,  God's  "lost  sheep," 
His  "flock"!— and  "the  flock"  of  His  "pasture" 
are  men.  The  tribe  of  Judah  or  the  Jews  have 
never  been  lost  because  "the  shew  of  their  coun- 
tenance doth  witness  against  them"  down  through 
the  ages  just  as  foretold  (Isa.  3:9).  Our  negli- 
gent parsons  will  pay  the  price  for  their  negiect 
to  search  the  Scriptures  on  this  point  as  com- 
manded by  God,  and  the  Almighty  will  take  over 
their  job  of  finding  and  making  Israel  laiowm  to 
all  the  world  without  the  aid  of  the  shepherds. 

If  there  is  any  doubt  that  the  laws,  com- 
mands and  prophecies  for  national  Israel,  wher- 
ever they  are,  are  still  in  force,  look  at  the  last 
chapter  in  the.  Old  Testament,  Malachi  4 : 4, 
wherein  we  are  specifically  ordered  to  remember 
"the  la"\v  of  Moses,  my  servant,  which  I  command- 
ed unto  him  in  Horeb  [for  whom?]  for  all  Israel, 
■with  the  statutes  and  judgments." 

Well,  what  is  the  use  of  the  command,  the 
last  commandment  in  the  Old  Testament,  if  our 
neglectful  ministers  fail  to  locate  "where  "all 
Israel"  are  to-day  to  whom  this  applies? 

"And  he  [Elijah]  shall  turn  the  heart  of  the 
fathers  to  the  children,  and  the  heart  of  the  children 
to  their  fathers,  lest  I  come  and  smite  the  earth  with 
a  curse."     (Mai.  4:6.) 

"What  does  this  last  statement  in  the  Old 
Testament  mean!    If  we  are  Israel — and  we  are 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  25 

— then  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Jacob  were  our 
fathers,  and  we  are  their  children,  and  our  hearts 
are  to  be  turned  towards  them  so  that  we  may 
see  and  believe  it  lest  we  be  smitten  with  a  curse 
for  neglecting  to  find  God's  Israel,  His  executive 
nation  with  His  enduring,  ruling  dynasty  prom- 
ised in  Psalms  89.

CHAPTER  II. 

The  children  of  Israel,  including  the  tribe 
of  Manasseh  (U.S.A.),  were  instructed  in  many 
things  by  the  prophet  Jeremiah  who,  according 
to  Jeremiah  1 :  10,  Ferrar  Fenton's  version,  says: 

''See !  I  have  appointed  you  to-day  over  nations, 
and  kmgdoms;  to  pull  up,  and  to  break  down,  and 
to  destroy,  and  to  erase;  as  well  as  to  build,  and  to 
plant." 

Jeremiah  was  born  675  B.C.,  so  he  wit- 
nessed the  pulling  up,  breaking  down,  and  erasing 
of  the  kingdom  of  Judah,  the  killing  of 
the  king's  son,  and  taking  prisoners  of  the 
remnant  of  the  nation.  About  581  B.C.  Jeremiah 
started  on  the  latter  part  of  his  divine  commission 
of  building  and  planting.  Accompanied  by  the 
royal  seed,  Zedekiah's  daughter,  Tamar  Tephi, 
and  Baruch,  his  scribe,  he  started  for  Ireland. 
Ten  different  Irish  histories  record  the  fact  that 
at  this  time  a  wonderful  prophet  arrived  in  Ire- 
land who  caused  Baal  worship  to  cease,  married 
his  ward  (Zedekiah's  daughter)  to  the  then  ruling 
king  of  Ireland,  who  also  was  of  the  seed  of 
David  through  the  Zarah  branch,  on  condition 
that  the  king  should  found  a  school  for  prophets. 

28 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  29 

This  was  built  at  Tara  and  for  five  hundred  years 
the  educated  men  of  Europe  came  to  Ireland  to 
absorb  wisdom  and  learning  from  this  school 
founded  by  Jeremiah,  and  to-day  in  the  Court  of 
Justice  in  Dublin,  in  the  position  of  honor,  is  the 
medallion  of  Jeremiah  cut  in  enduring  stone  as 
a  wa^Tuark  of  his  former  presence  there. 

See  Jeremiah  31 :  21  where  Israel  was  in- 
structed to  set  up  waymarks : 

"Set  thee  up  waymarks,  make  thee  high  heaps: 
set  thine  heart  toward  the  highway,  even  the  way 
which  thou  wentest." 

You  will  naturally  wonder  whether  Israel 
carried  out  these  instructions,  and  for  your  in- 
formation I  can  advise  that  they  did.  So,  Israel's 
wanderings  can  be  traced  from  the  very  place 
where  they  were  taken  as  captives  by  the  Assyrian 
king,  Shalmaneser,  that  is,  to  the  southwest  of 
the  Caspian  Sea. 

Diodorus  ivrites :  The  Sacae  sprung  from  a 
people  in  Media. 

Ptolemy  found  the  Saxons  in  a  race  of 
Sythians  called  Sakai  who  came  from  Media. 

Pliny  says:  The  Sakai  were  among  the 
most  distinguished  people  of  Scythia,  who  set- 
tled in  Armenia  and  were  called  Sacae-Sani. 

Alhimis  says :  ''The  Saxons  were  descended 
from  the  ancient  Sacae  in  Asia." 


30  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Prideaux  finds  that  the  Cimbrians  (Kum- 
rii)  came  from  between  the  Black  and  Caspian 
seas  and  with  them  came  the  Angli. 

Plutarch,  Tacitus,  and  Ptolemy  show  clear- 
ly that  the  Anglo-Saxons,  the  Sacae  and  the 
Scythians  and  the  Getae  were  the  same  people.* 

AVhile  this  place  became  the  national  grave 
of  rebellions  Israel,  wonderful  as  it  may  seem,  it 
is  no  less  the  cradle  of  the  Anglo-Saxon-Celtic 
race,  as  traced  by  the  historian,  Sharon  Turner, 
120  years  ago  and  more  recently  by  Major  B.  de 
W.  Weldon  in  The  Evolution  of  Israel,  and  also  in 
his  later  work.  The  Origin  of  the  English. 

These  people,  having  been  separated  from 
God  on  account  of  their  sins,  were  not  to  be  known 
or  recognized  as  God's  people  until  they  should 
repent  of  their  sins  and  accept  Christ's  message 
to  the  lost  sheep  of  Israel ;  but  it  was  foretold  in 
Genesis  21 :12,  '*In  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be  called." 
The  tribes  broke  up  into  sections  and  wandered 
under  various  names,  as  Scythians,  Goths,  Gatae, 
the  largest  mass  or  body  of  Gatae  being  called 
"Massagatae,"  and  under  the  divine  impulse  to 
push  w^estward  they  trekked  north  of  the  Black 
Sea  into  the  Crimea.  They  started  out  calling 
themselves  Isaac-sons;  and  there  are  many  tomb- 
stones in  the  Crimea  bearing  names  and  dates 
stating  that  the  dead  are  Isaac-sons  and  children 
of  captivity,  and  giving  the  very  period  of  their

captivity  and  the  commencement  of  the  nation — 
when  Israel  came  ont  of  Egypt  under  Moses. 
There  are  no  vowels  in  Hebrew  so  the  /  was  not 
pronounced,  and  in  time  Isaac-sons  got  to  be  call- 
ed Saac-sons  and  on  their  tomlbstones  it  is  so 
written,  and  it  is  now  spelled  Saxons.  Engle  in 
Hebrew  is  bull,  and  the  bull  tribe  of  Isaac-sons 
were  called  Engle  or  Angle-Saxons,  as  the 
centuries  rolled  on.  Everywhere  these  Saac-sons 
went,  they  left  waymarks*  until  they  took  up 
their  abode  in  the  isles  of  the  sea  north  and  west 
from  Palestine,  where  the  prophets  foretold  God 
would  appoint  a  place  for  them,  where  they 
would  be  moved  no  more ;  where  they  would  have 
rest ;  and  where  their  enemies  would  not  be  able 
to  afflict  them,  as  in  former  times,  so  that  they 
could  grow  strong  and  become  "a  great  nation" 
as  prophesied  in  Genesis  12:2,  3: 

"And  I  will  make  of  thee  a  great  nation,  and  I 
will  bless  thee,  and  make  thy  name  great ;  and  thou 
shalt  be  a  blessing:  and  I  will  bless  them  that  bless 
thee,  and  curse  him  that  eurseth  thee :  and  in  thee 
shall  all  families  of  the  earth  be  blessed." 

No  other  nation  has  ever  had  tlie  word 
"great"  as  part  of  their  national  name.  Why? 
This  could  not  apply  to  the  Jews  because  they 
have  never  been  a  blessing  where  they  went  and 
they  never  will  be  until  they   realize  that   the

for  Judah  can  only  come  through  Israel  as  fore- 
told in  the  Old  Testament. 

They  were  finally  to  hecome  a  company  or 
** multitude  of  nations."  (Gen.  48:19.)  Great 
Britain  certainly  has  become  ^'a  multitude  [or 
commonwealth]  of  nations"  with  her  Anglo-Saxon 
offspring,  forming  nations  and  colonies  the  world 
over,  the  first  of  her  offspring  being  the  United 
States  of  America. 

See  Genesis  49:22  to  get  a  line  on  the  in- 
heritance surely  belonging  to  Great  Britain 
(Great  Covenant  Land)  and  the  United  States: 

"Joseph  is  a  fruitful  bough,  even  a  fruitful  bough 
by  a  well  [or  water]  ;  whose  branches  run  over  the 
wall.'' 

The  United  States  branch  ran  over  the  wall 
when  your  Pilgrim  Fathers,  all  Englishmen,  beat 
it  for  America.  The  Australian  branch  beat  it 
for  the  antipodes.  The  Canadian  branch  ran 
over  the  wall  from  Britain  and  also  from  the 
U.  S.  A.,  because  when  your  citizens  decided  to  do 
without  a  king  as  the  head  of  your  organization, 
many  loyal  Britishers  of  English,  Scotch,  and 
Irish  brands  left  everything  they  possessed  in  the 
U.  S.  A.  and  took  up  their  abode  in  the  wooded 
wilderness  of  Canada  rather  than  be  disloyal  to 
their  King  and  Governor,  who,  imperfect  though 
he  proved  to  be,  was  still  the  instrument  of  God. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  33 

They  (the  United  Empire  Loyalists  who 
left  the  U.  S.  A.)  were  not  of  the  Manasseh  seed 
who  were  to  become  a  great  people,  so  they  pulled 
out  and  have  been  the  backbone  of  Canadianism 
ever  since. 

Other  branches  ran  over  the  wall  all  over 
the  world;  and  a  right  husky  lot  of  branches  or 
lion's  cubs  they  proved  themselves  to  be  in  France 
and  Belgium,  in  Italy,  in  Gallipoli,  in  Mesa- 
potamia,  and  in  Egypt,  fighting  and  holding  the 
Hun  while  brother  Jonathan  was  making  ready 
his  millions  to  send  over  to  help. 

To-day  Canada,  Australia,  New  Zealand, 
South  Africa,  Newfoundland,  India,  and  the 
dozens  of  Colonies  and  possessions  all  are  ruled 
by  the  offspring  of  British  stock;  all  proudly  hail 
George  V.  as  their  King  and  Governor,  and  he  is 
as  clearly  descended  from  King  David,  King  of 
Israel,  as  you  are  from  your  grandfather,  as  is 
proven  by  W.  M.  H.  Milner's  book,  The  Royal 
House  of  Britain  an  Enduring  Dynasty. 

Gen.  49  :  23  :  The  archers  [or  warriors]  have  sore- 
ly grieved  him,  and  shot  at  him,  and  hated  him 
[Joseph]  : 

24.  But  his  bow  abode  in  strength,  and  the 
arms  of  his  [Joseph's]  hands  were  made  strong  by 
the  hands  of  the  mighty  God  of  Jacob;  (from  thence 
is  the  shepherd,  the  stone  of  Israel). 

In  Ferrar  Fenton's  version  this  last  clause 
reads:  ''From  Whom  is  Israel's  guardian  stone" 


34  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

— that  ''guardian  stone"  which  rests  in  West- 
minster Abbey  and  upon  which  kings  and  queens 
of  the  seed  of  David  have  been  crowned  since  the 
prophet  Jeremiah  took  it  to  Ireland  about  579 
B.C.  Ferrar  Fenton  in  his  splendid  translation 
of  the  Bible  into  modern  English  says  (Jer. 
31:21): 

"Set  up  your  Beacons, — your  Landmarks  set  up ! 
Fix  your  hearts  on  the  mounds  by  the  way  that 

you  marched. 
Return,  Israel's  daughter,  return  to  your  City." 

"The  tribe  of  Dan,  whose  homeland  was 
Jordan  (Jor-dan)  and  who  stayed  in  their  ships, 
were  bold  and  enterprising.  Their  first  camping 
ground  they  named  Mahaneh-Dan  and  along  their 
lines  of  travel  we  find  the  names  they  left  behind 
them  in  the  Dan-ube,  the  Dan-iester,  the  Dan-au, 
the  Dan-an,  the  Dan-inn,  Dan-tzig,  Dan-etz,  the 
Dan-aster,  the  Dan-dari,  the  Danez,  the  Don,  the 
Dacia,  the  Sea  of  Moses  and  the  Country  of  Moses 
or  Morcia,  the  Dan-ric  Alps,  the  Danish  archi- 
pelago, etc.  In  Ptolemy's  map  of  Ireland  we  find 
Dans-lough,  Dan-Sower,  Dan  Sobairse,  Dan's 
resting  place  and  Dan's  habitation  and  Dan-gan 
castle  (the  birthplace  of  the  Duke  of  Welling- 
ton). 

"The  old  inhabitants  of  Ireland  were  call- 
ed Dan-onians  and  it  is  well  known  that  among 
the  ancient  kings  of  Ireland  there  were  several 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  35 

Davids,  three  Solomons  and  a  Daniel  and  Jere- 
miah in  every  house  down  to  Daniel  O'Connell 
and  beyant."* 

When  Joseph,  our  first  food  controller,  was 
keeping  the  Egyptians  from  starving  during  the 
seven  lean  years,  1700  B.C.  to  1693  B.C.  (as  the 
U.S.A.  through  its  servant  and  food  controller, 
Herbert  Hoover,  helped  the  Belgians),  his  two 
sons — Manasseh,  born  1711  B.C.,  and  Ephraim, 
born  17i2  B.C. — were  doubtless  pla^'ing  around 
the  public  square  and  Temple  of  On  in  that  large 
Egyptian  City  of  Memphis,  a  few  miles  from 
where  Cairo  now  stands,  and  in  full  view  of  that 
greatest  wonder  of  the  world  the  Great  Pyra- 
mid of  Gizeh,  built  by  Shem  in  2170  B.C. 
In  that  public  square  in  front  of  the  temple 
in  Memphis  stood  two  obelisks — and  there  are  no 
other  two  in  the  world  just  like  them.  AMiere  are 
those  obelisks  to-day?  Does  it  seem  strange  that 
one  of  these  obelisks,  several  thousand  years  later, 
should  find  its  Avay  from. Egypt  to  America  and 
should  be  set  up  in  your  largest  city!  This 
Egyptian  obelisk,  popularly  called  Cleopatra's 
Needle,  is  of  rose-red  Syene  granite  and  was 
actually  presented  to  the  city  of  New  York  by 
Ismael,  Khedive  of  Egypt,  in  1877.  I  wonder  why 
of  all  the  nations  on  this  round  earth  he  happened 
to  select  America — what  is  your  guess?

It  was  brought  to  New  York  in  1880  at  the 
expense  of  $100,000  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Vandei^ilt  and 
was  erected  in  Central  Park  in  1881,  where  it 
stands  to-day,  proudly  rearing  its  pointed  apex 
skyward  as  a  waymark  to  all  America  of  the  place 
of  origin  of  your  forefather  Manasseh,  and  the 
starting  place  of  your  world-wide  wanderings 
since  you  left  Egypt  under  Moses. 

The  children  of  Israel  marched  out  of 
Egypt  under  Moses  about  1492  B.C.,  and,  if  the 
U.  S.  A.  section  of  Israel  is  representatively  to 
*' return  to  your  city,"  it  is  rather  important  that 
you  know  the  city  that  your  progenitor  came  from, 
is  it  not!  Well,  your  largest  city  has  your  Avay- 
mark  waiting  since  1881  for  Americans,  both 
Jews  and  Israelites,  to  realize  their  identity;  and 
waiting  for  them  to  take  their  full  part  in  the 
world  inhertance  given  to  their  forefathers,  Abra- 
ham, Isaac,  and  Jacob,  Joseph  and  Manasseh. 
See  Genesis  48:4:  "Behold,  I  will  .  .  .  give  this 
land  to  thy  seed  after  thee  for  an  everlasting  pos- 
session," and  it  has  been  in  the  possession  of 
Abraham's  seed  ever  since,  as  the  Turk  is  de- 
scended from  Esau,  Jacob's  brother. 

The  souls  of  most  men  and  women  who 
have  given  them  a  reasonable  chance  for  expres- 
sion and  growth  by  following  the  wee  small  voice 
of  Conscience  or  Spirit,  as  it  moves  us,  know 
more  than  the  same  men  or  women  can  ade- 
quately voice  or  explain  to  outsiders.    Likewise, 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  37 

the  Soul  of  America  knows  more  than  its  poli- 
ticians, who  have  been  led  by  a  way  they  know 
not,  to  do  the  things  God  has  laid  out  for  the 
American  section  of  Israel  to  bring  about. 

You  will  remember  that  the  Holy  Land, 
from  the  river  Nile  to  the  Euphrates  in  Meso- 
potamia, was  promised  to  Israel,  for  an  in- 
heritance. 

In  this  area  lies  the  Suez  Canal,  built  for 
the  Khedive  by  that  farseeing  enterprising 
French  engineer,  de  Lesseps,  with  French  men, 
money  and  brains.  But  it  was  not  for  France  to 
hold.  You  may  remember  that  that  farseeing 
son  of  Judah,  Benjamin  D 'Israeli  (or  Benjamin 
of  Israel)  when  the  Khedive  was  hard  up,  bought 
a  controlling  interest  in  the  canal  for  the  Covenant 
Land  (Brith-ain),  for  about  £4,000,000  which  had 
originally  cost  about  £30,000,000 ;  and  so  it  passed 
to  British  ownership  and  control  forever. 

The  Panama  Canal,  started  by  the  same 
engineer,  with  French  men,  money,  and  machinery 
failed.  But  Israel  was  promised  the  waste  place 
of  the  earth  and  the  control  of  the  sea  and  the 
rivers  afar  and  the  gates.  So,  after  millions  had 
been  spent  on  it,  the  machinery  rotted  until  the 
Manasseh  tribe  of  Israel  took  it  over ;  and  then  the 
gigantic  task  went  digging  to  completion.  So  the 
two  brother  nations  have  not  only  a  Cleopatra's 
Needle  apiece  to  mark  their  origin, — here  I  am 
ahead  of  my  story — but  they  each  own  a  canal 


38  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

started  by  another  nation's  cash.  These  canals 
connecting  the  seas  are  ours,  because  Israel  was 
given  command  of  the  sea  and  their  right  hand 
was  to  be  in  the  rivers  afar — and  it  is  and  will  so 
continue.  ''God  moves  in  a  mysterious  way  his 
wonders  to  perform!" 

The  Promised  Land  will  be  the  most  fertile 
land  in  the  world.  When  irrigated  it  will  grow 
four  crops  per  year,  and  strange  to  say,  this  sec- 
tion of  land,  I  am  told,  has  never  been  sold  or 
deeded  to  anyone  since  it  was  promised  to  Israel. 
They  did  not  obey  God 's  laws  and  were  as  a  conse- 
quence scattered  among  the  Gentiles.  You  can 
buy  land  in  England,  Canada,  United  States,  any- 
where, and  get  title  to  it.  Years  ago  several 
colonization  schemes  were  proposed  for  Palestim; 
but  the  sultans  of  Turkey,  when  it  came  to  a  show- 
down, would  never  sell  this  land  or  give  a  deed; 
it  was  to  be  held  for  Judah  and  Israel — God's 
chosen  people — to  return  to.  If  you  wish  to  locate 
your  section  of  it,  read  the  last  half  dozen 
chapters  of  Ezekiel,  where  the  survey  is  laid 
down  in  thirteen  longitudinal  strips,  almost  like 
an  American  flag — and  don't  overlook  Chapter 
47,  verse  13,  where  it  says,  "Joseph  shall  have 
two  portions":  one  for  Manasseh,  the  representa- 
tive of  the  great  people  (U.  S.  A.),  and  the  other 
for  Ephraim,  the  nation  and  company  of  nations 
(Britain,  Canada,  New  Zealand,  South  Africa, 
India,    Australia,    etc.).     The    brotherhood    of 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  39 

Britain  and  the  United  States  is  ordained  down 
through  the  ages,  despite  the  machinations  of  the 
Land  Leaguers,  Fenians,  Clan  Na  Grael,  Sinn 
Fein,  Pro-Germans  and  other  more  secret  and 
insidious  foes,  some  of  whom,  before  America  be- 
came a  nation,  had  been  working  nights  and  Sun- 
days to  ditch  old  Britain,  that  Mother  of  Free 
Parliaments  and  breeder  of  free  peoples. 

The  year  1882  was  foretold  in  the  Bible  as 
a  wonderful  year  for  Israel,  also  by  Piazzi  Smyth, 
F.  R.  S.  E.,  F.  R.  A.  S.,  Astronomer  Royal  for 
Scotland,  in  his  work.  Our  Inheritance  in  the  Great 
Pyramid  of  Egypt,  published  in  1865,  the  third 
edition  in  1877,  a  copy  of  which  lies  before  me. 
It  was  also  foretold  by  H.  Grattan  Guinness, 
D.D.,  in  1878,  in  his  illuminating  work.  The  Ap- 
proaching End  of  the  Age,  (a  book  that  ran 
through  thirteen  editions)  and  by  many  other 
authors.  As  Manasseh  (America)  and  that  other 
tribe,  Ephraim  (England),  both  sons  of  Joseph, 
came  from  Egypt,  they  will  naturally  be  in- 
terested in  Egypt's  future  developments. 

Jeremiah  33:14  says:  "Behold  us,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  perform  that  good 
thing  which  I  have  promised  unto  the  house  of 
Israel  and  to  the  house  of  Judah."  What  good 
thing?  That  He  will  restore  Israel  again,  one  of 
a  city  and  two  of  a  family,  united  in  the  land 
that  He  gave  them.     But  first  we  have  to  get  that 


40  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

land,  haven't  we?  How  are  we  to  get  possession 
of  it? 

In  1882  Great  Britain  and  France  sent 
their  fleets  to  Alexandria,  Egypt,  by  agreement, 
to  bombard  and  take  possession  of  it.  Arrange- 
ments were  made  by  both  admirals  to  bombard 
together ;  but  you  will  remember  that  the  French 
admiral,  without  authority,  beat  it  hame  to  Tou- 
lon with  his  whole  fleet,  without  firing  a  shot.  Why, 
I  wonder?  Was  it  not  because  that  land  was  for 
Israel  and  it  was  not  on  the  cards  that  France 
should  have  any  hand  in  it,  or  be  mixed  up  with 
or  have  any  legitimate  claim  upon  that  particular 
bit  of  land?  According  to  the  Bible,  Joseph 
was  to  win  back  Palestine  from  Turkey;  and  she 
did  in  1917,  just  in  the  year  Daniel  predicted,  the 
1335th  lunar  year  dating  from  the  Hegira.  See 
Daniel  12:12:  "Blessed  is  he  that  waiteth,  and 
cometh  to  the  thousand  three  hundred  and  five 
and  thirty  days" — all  prophetic  days  being  con- 
sidered as  years  in  the  Bible  as  in  Ezekiel  4:  5. 

Who  do  you  suppose  landed  with  the  Brit- 
ish and  helped  Brother  John  restore  law  and 
order  in  Alexandria  after  it  was  bombarded? 
Well,  it  was  Brother  Jonathan  who  was  on  the  job 
despite  your  rulers'  many  decisions,  before  and 
since,  not  to  mix  up  in  European  matters.  Your 
fleet  landed  their  marines  with  the  British.  Tlie 
British  Army  and  Navy  Gazette  of  February  24, 
1883,  says  in  part,  "Admiral  Nicholson,  U.S.N., 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  41 

rendered  this  country  [England]  most  valuable 
service  at  a  critical  moment  in  landing  Marines 
at  Alexandria  after  the  bombardment  to  assist 
Lord  Alcester  in  restoring  law  and  order." 

The  American  vessels  of  war  that  were  at 
Alexandria  at  the  time  were  the  following: 

1.  Lancaster — First  class  Sloop  of  War — 
Capt.  Bancroft  Gherardi. 

2.  Galena— Iron  Clad  S.  S.  Third  rate- 
Commander  0.  A.  Batcheller. 

3.  Nipsic — Gunboat  fourth  class — Com- 
mander H.  B.  Seeley. 

4.  Quinnebaug — Gunboat  fourth  class — 
Commander  William  Whitehead. 

The  squadron  was  in  command  of  Rear  Ad- 
miral J.  W.  A.  Nicholson,  U.S.A. — not  a  very 
formidable  looking  lot,  but  Providence  had  them 
on  the  spot  just  when  they  were  surely  wanted, 
as  the  French  admiral  got  a  brain  wave  to  beat 
it  home,  and  was  cashiered,  I  am  told,  for  not 
carrying  out  his  government's  instructions  to 
bombard  and  take  possession  with  the  British. 
Still  there  are  people  who  cannot  see  God 
ruling  through  His  chosen  instrument  Israel,  the 
Anglo-Saxon  Celts! 

Well,  Gladstone  didn't  want  Egypt,  and  he 
said  from  the  floor  of  the  House,  "We  are  only 
in  Egypt  to  settle  this  matter  and  then  we  shall 
leave."  Man  proposes,  even  a  big  man,  but  God 
disposes;  and  Gladstone  had  to  break  his  word. 


42  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

as  we  didn't  get  out  of  Egypt,  despite  Gladstone's 
many  promises  and  Lord  Salisbury's  after  him, 
nor  have  we  gone  since,  as  Providence  so  far  has 
overruled  every  attempt  to  scuttle  from  Egypt 

Lord  Dufferin,  one  of  the  most  able  Gov- 
ernor-Generals Canada  has  ever  had  (1872-1878), 
made  a  speeli  about  that  time  to  the  Empire  Club 
in  which  he  said: 

"I  believe  the  time  is  too  late  for  England  to 
seek  to  disinherit  herself  from  that  noble  destiny 
which  I  firmly  believe  she  has  been  entrusted  of 
Providence.  The  same  hidden  hand  which  planted 
the  tree  of  Constitutional  Liberty  within  her  borders, 
and  which  has  called  upon  her  to  become  the  Mother 
of  Parliaments,  has  sent  forth  her  children  to  possess 
the  waste  places  of  the  earth.  That  her  design  has 
been  to  turn  such  to  a  Paradise  of  plenty,  those 
present  can  best  testify.  I  believe  that  great  as  have 
been  the  changes  of  our  day,  our  children  are  des- 
tined to  see  still  more  glorious  accomplishments," 

Lord  Dufferin  in  the  above  only  said — 
and  almost  in  Biblical  words — what  the  prophets 
had  foretold  three  thousand  years  ago  as  Israel's 
future ;  and  she  and  America  are  fulfilling  it  every 
day  of  the  365  in  the  year. 

Providence  was  again  on  the  job  when 
Admiral  George  Dewey  took  Manilla  from  Spain 
and  the  German  admiral  threatened  him.  I  sup- 
pose you  remember  that,  just  as  Brotlier  Jonathan 
had  happened  in  Alexandria  Harbour  when  want- 
ed in  1882,  John  Bull  happened  with  a  fleet  in 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  43 

Manilla  Bay  at  a  most  opportune  time,  and  the 
British  fleet  steamed  between  the  anchored  Ger- 
man fleet  and  the  American.  The  Hun  admiral 
had  tried  to  bluff  Admiral  Dewey ;  Brother  John 
heard  of  it,  and,  to  show  Germany  that  blood  was 
thicker  than  water,  altered  his  ships  so  that  the 
first  shell  fired  towards  the  American  fleet  would 
be  at  the  British  fleet,  'Twas  a  real  brotherly 
action  and  one  that  was  thoroughly  appreciated 
by  Admiral  Dewey  and  his  officers  and  by  the 
American  nation. 

Admiral  George  Dewey  at  Manilla  and  Ad- 
miral Nicholson,  U.S.N.,  at  Alexandria,  in  18bL", 
may  not  have  known  it,  but  the  Creator  of  this 
world  gave  Israel  (both  the  U.S.A.  and  British 
sections)  "the  gate"  of  their  enemies.  (Gen. 
22:17.)  Now  there  is,  and  always  has  been,  only 
one  element  that  is  "the  gate"  to  all  Israel's 
enemies,  and  that  is  the  sea;  and  by  God's  grace 
we  have  it.    In  Psalm  89 :25,  we  read : 

"I  will  set  his  hand  also  in  the  sea,  and  his 
right  hand  in  the  rivers." 

Ferrar  Fenton's  version  has  verses  24.-26 
as  follows : 

"His  assailants  I  cut  from  his  face, 
And  all  who  hate  him  will  defeat. 
With  him  are  My  Mercy  and  Truth, 
And  I  lift  up  his  horn  by  My  Power. 
So  I  placed  his  left  hand  on  the  Sea, 
And  his  right  to  the  Rivers  afar!'' 


44  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Well,  both  sections  of  Israel  have  had  their 
assailants  cut  off;  and  Britain  and  America  have 
always  defeated  those  who  hate  them  and,  thank 
God,  always  will,  as  the  throne  of  David  is  the 
throne  of  Jehovah  on  earth  which  He  has  sworn 
He  will  protect  until  Christ  comes  again  to  Je- 
rusalem, this  time  to  reign  over  the  whole  House 
of  Israel,  and  the  whole  world. 

The  Brith-annia  or  Covenant  of  the  deep, 
or  rule  of  the  sea — for  this  is  its  Hebrew  meaning 
— ^belongs  as  much  to  one  of  Joseph's  sons  as  to 
the  other  and  is  America's  God-given  charter  for 
her  navy  as  it  is  for  Britain's.  Under  Britain  the 
whole  world  was  free  to  use  the  sea  until  Germany 
started  to  smash  civilization.  Not  knowing  the 
Creator's  plan,  your  President  left  your  shores 
with  his  grip  packed  with  demands  and  arguments 
— for  what?  ''The  freedom  of  the  seas,"  this 
old  cry  of  the  German,  the  Hun  and  the  Turk,  as 
if  the  world  had  not  had  every  freedom  of  the  sea 
until  Germany  started  to  smash  civilization  and 
we  used  our  God-given  rule  of  it  against  her.  This 
demand  and  that  of  "no  indemnities,  no  annexa- 
tion" wrought  harm  for  your  friend,  France. 
Germany  must  not  be  asked  to  indemnify  her  wil- 
ful destructions,  but  France,  who  bled  at  every 
pore,  saving  your  hide  as  well  as  her  own,  must 
indemnify  America  for  the  sliot  and  shell  she  used 
in  saving  it!  Will  America  indemnify  France  the 
million  and  a  half  lives  lost  using  the  shells  that 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  45 

saved  the  world,  not  France  alone,  from  destruc- 
tion? 

"America's  soul  is  unsettled!"  said 
Harvey  0.  Higgins.  Thank  God  it  is !  or  'twere 
almost  useless  to  have  souls.  The  British  ad- 
miral's action  at  Manilla  Bay  was  heartily  com- 
mended by  Americans  of  both  political  parties 
with  the  exception  of  the  Clan-na-Gael  (or  was  it 
the  Land  Leagniers  of  that  time?),  our  and  your 
inveterate  enemies — enemies  in  Canaan  and 
enemies  still.  They  have  run  true  to  form  ever 
since  Israel  took  the  promised  land. 

However,  'tis  not  to  worry  or  be  do^^^l- 
hearted,  because  the  mills  of  God  are  as  surely 
grinding  out  His  judgment  for  the  behind  hedges 
and  other  murderers  in  Erin  as  when  America 
placed  yokes  on  the  sons  and  daughters  of  Ham 
and  expected  to  get  away  with  it.  "By  their 
fruits  ye  shall  know  them"  is  still  the  divine 
command;  and  "Whatsoever  a  man  soweth,  that 
shall  he  also  reap"  still  holds  good  in  America  as 
in  Ireland.  The  crops  sown  for  years  past  Avill 
within  a  few  years  he  garnered  and  many  people, 
churchmen  and  politicians,  will  be  surprised  at  the 
overdue  portion  coming  to  their  sections.  The 
Irish  of  all  classes  and  creeds  will  then  get  their 
due  justice  w^ith  ordered  liberty  and  real  peace 
with  real  Home  Rule.  Ireland  was  set  apart  by 
Jehovah  for  Israel,  not  for  the  Canaanites, 
Phoenicians,  Fenians  or  Sinn  Feiners,  over  1600 


46  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

years  B.C.  and  has  been  occupied  by  them  ever 
since — and  who  are  the  Sinn  Feiners  who 
can  claim  right  and  title  to  what  God  gave  to  His 
covenant  people  or  who  can  change  the  Cre- 
ator's design?  They  have  had  many  tries  for  it, 
but  they  have  always  failed  and  always  will.  Good 
will  and  justice  can  secure  what  force  never  can  in 
Brith-ain,  even  in  the  Irish  section  of  it.  The  su- 
premacy of  the  law,  God's  law,  must  come  first. 
Ulster  will,  I  think,  show  them  how — to  all  men 
of  good  will. 

In  Chapter  41  the  prophet,  speaking  to  the 
Brith  Colony  of  Israel,  says,  "Keep  silence  be- 
fore me,  0  islands  [What  islands?  Look  up  any 
map  and  see  any  islands  that  it  could  possibly 
apply  to  save  the  British  Isles] ;  and  let  the  people 
renew  their  strength."  (vs.  1.)  "Thou,  Israel,  art 
my  servant,  Jacob  whom  I  have  chosen,  the  seed 
of  Abraham  my  friend."  (vs.  8.)  "I  will  make 
thee  a  new^  sharp  threshing  instrument  having 
teeth"  (vs.  15)  and  so  on;  all  through  the  balance 
of  Isaiah  the  inspired  phophet  describes  in  vary- 
ing stages  Israel  as  she  has  been,  is  now,  or  is  to 
be,  and  Mother  Brith-ain  fits  it  clause  after  clause 
and  no  other  nation  has  or  ever  will  fulfil  those 
prophecies. 

"The  isles  shall  wait  for  his  law."  "My 
servant,  Israel."  Who  are  the  people  of  the 
"isles"?  There  are  not  many  isles  to  pick  from 
nor  many  peoples  who  wait  for  "His  law".  If  the 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  47 

British  in  India,  in  Egypt,  in  China,  in  every 
heathen  nation  are  not  God's  servants,  Avhat  na- 
tion is  or  ever  has  been?  Gentlemen,  the  Brith- 
ish  (Covenant  men — BritJi  meaning  covenant  and 
isli  meaning  men)  are  God's  '^ servant,"  they  wait 
for  His  law  and  they  are  in  the  islands  where  God 
said  His  servant  would  be;  they  fill  every  single 
specification — and  Americans  are  as  much  Coven- 
ant men  as  are  their  brothers  of  the  British  Isles 
who  did  not  migrate  to  America  with  George 
Washington's  forebears. 

As  that  grand  old  fighting  British  admiral. 
Lord  Fisher,  who  foresaw  1914 — and  built 
Britain's  1914  war  fleet  in  anticipation  of  it,  says 
in  his  Memories,  page  223,  "Jerusalem,  the  Capi- 
tal of  *The  Lost  Ten  Tribes  of  Israel'  whom  we 
are  without  doubt,  for  how  otherwise  could  ever 
we  have  so  prospered  when  we  have  had  such 
idiots  to  guide  us  and  rule  us  as  those  who  gave  up 
Heligoland,  Tangier,  Curacoa,  Corfu,  Delagoa 
Bay,  Java,  Sumatra,  Minorca,  etc.,  etc.?  I  have 
been  at  all  the  places  named,  so  am  able  to  state 
from  the  personal  knowledge  that  only  con- 
genital idiots  could  have  been  guilty  of  such 
inconceivable  folly  as  to  surrender  them  and 
again  I  say.  Let  Us  Thank  God  That  A¥e  Are 
THE  Lost  Ten  Tribes  of  Israel!"  John  Bull 
muddles  and  muddles,  but  he  always  muddles 
through,  and  goodness  knows  that  any  other 
nation  with  a  like  capacity  for  muddling  would 


48  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

have  been  on  the  scrap  heap  ages  ago,  but  for 
the  divine  ruling. 

Admiral  Lord  Fisher  was  a  staunch  Bible 
student  as  are  so  many  leading  soldiers  and 
sailors  of  Britain.  Just  before  his  death  when 
about  to  be  operated  upon,  he  asked  his  closest 
friend  to  be  with  him  and  if  he  saw  that  he  was 
passing  out,  to  whisper  in  his  ear  as  he  was  cross- 
ing the  bar,  the  following  verse,  ''0  Lord,  in  thee 
have  I  trusted,  let  me  never  be  confounded."  He 
confounded  many  enemies  of  Britain  and  spent 
his  days  and  nights  working  with  might  and  main 
to  protect  God's  Kingdom  and  its  enduring 
throne  upon  which  sits  the  seed  of  David. 

I  was  pleased  indeed  when  the  pastor  of 
the  church  I  attended  in  Canada  held  a  memorial 
service  in  honor  of  this  great  servant  in  Israel. 

AVhat  does  British  history  say  about  "The 
isles  shall  wait  for  his  law'"?  Well,  Alfred  the 
Great  placed  Israel's  Hebrew  laws  (Moses'  Ten 
Commandments  and  much  of  Deuteronomy)  at  the 
head  of  the  laws  of  Britain  in  his  time;  and  the 
laws  of  Britain,  the  United  States  and  all  the  other 
Anglo-Saxon  nations  are  based  upon  the  Hebrew 
laws  of  Moses,  every  man  being  equal  before  the 
law — justice  to  all,  rich  and  poor  alike.  Is  it  not 
strange  that  we  Anglo-Saxons  should  adopt 
Hebrew  laws  for  our  own  if  we  are  not  their  de- 
cendants,  national  Israel? 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  49 

The  Creator  of  this  Avorld  certainly  called 
Israel  to  be  His  servant,  and  God  certainly  has 
been  with  Britain  and  her  offspring  in  all 
times  of  trouble ;  and  the  Anglo-Saxon-Celts  have 
been  a  light  to  the  Gentiles,  doing  His  missionary 
work  among  the  heathen  to  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
by  means  of  foreign  missionary  societies  and  the 
churches  for  centuries,  and  added  to  recently  by 
that  grand  Army  with  its  Salvation  banner  float- 
ing among  the  heathen  of  all  nations. 

If  Britain  and  her  offspring  are  filling 
every  item  of  the  thousands  of  promises  God  made 
to  and  for  Israel  in  the  Bible,  then  gentlemen,  I 
submit  that  we  Anglo-Saxon-Celts  must  be  Israel. 
These  historical  facts  cannot  be  dodged,  ducked  or 
ignorantly  set  aside  by  business  men  in  the  trou- 
blous times  we  are  yet  to  go  through.  "Ye  shall 
know  the  truth  and  the  truth  shall  make  you  free." 

When  America's  business  men  understand 
the  plan  laid  down  for  them  by  the  Creator  in 
the  Bible  (and  I  defy  anyone  to  read  intelligently 
one  half  the  Bible  unless  they  can  locate  the 
Hebrew  nation  of  Israel,  as  well  as  Judah),  then 
will  America  and  Britain,  and  the  Anglo-Saxon 
peoples,  and  the  Jews  the  world  round,  have  a 
compass  and  a  chart  by  which  they  can  direct  their 
national  and  business  sailings  with  absolute 
knowledge  that  they  are  working  according  to  the 
divine  plan;  and  then  ''God  will  prosper  their 


50  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

undertakings"  as  the  motto  on  America's  Great 
Seal — Annuit  Coeptis — proclaims. 

It  is  interesting  to  remember  that  the 
Creator's  chosen  people  were  Hebrews  and  their 
writings  were  mostly  in  Hebrew.  In  the  early 
days  they  divided  peoples  into  two  categories : 

(1)  Hebrews,  or  God's  people. 

(2)  Heathen,  all  who  were  not  Hebrews.* 
It  is  also  interesting  to  find  the  early  in- 
habitants of  the  British  Isles  in  Ireland,  in  Wales 
and  in  Scotland  using  the  Hebrew  language  and 
forty  per  cent,  of  the  English  language  based 
upon  the  Hebrew.  Furthermore,  we  have  used 
Hebrew  weights  and  measures  for  3,000  years, 
and  they  check  with  those  found  in  the  Pyramid 
built  about  2170  B.C.  by  Shem,  son  of  Noah, — 
though  our  yard  stick  is  the  one  thousandth  part 
shorter,  perhaps  due  to  wear  and  tear  through  the 
ages! 

William  Tyndall,  who  translated  the  New 
Testament,  says,  ''The  Greek  agreeth  more  with 
the  Englyshe  than  with  the  Latyne  and  the  pro- 
perties of  the  Hebrew  tongue  agreeth  a  thousand 
times  more  with  the  Englyshe  than  with  the 
Latyne. ' ' 

"My  lore  has  been  declared  in  Hebrew — in 
the  Hebraic  tongue,"  asserted  Taliesin,  the  king 
or  prince  of  Druid  liards. 

*Sce  The  Kim/dom  of  Ood,  by  C.  W.  Eakclej' — a  gem  of  a 
book. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  51 

Dozens  of  other  authorities  could  be  quot- 
ed, but  Tyndall  settles  the  matter  as  far  as  my 
judgment  is  concerned. 

The  Hebrew  M'Ord  Goyim  means  nations 
though  we  have  been  so  long  taught  by  those  who 
should  know  and  do  not  (see  Matt.  15:14)  that  it 
means  "Gentiles"  that  most  people  accept  it 
without  question. 

The  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  I  am  told, 
in  his  sermon  at  the  National  Prayer  Meeting  for 
help  during  the  war  stated  that  Britain  was  a 
Gentile  nation  and  he  laid  stress  upon  this  false 
rendering. 

It  would  upset  the  false  teachings  of  the 
Episcopal  Churchmen  (with  the  accent  on  the 
men)  of  Britain  if  that  section  of  the 
Church  Universal  were  to  see  that,  though  Israel 
was  to  be  scattered  among  the  "nations,"  the 
Gentiles  or  heathen,  it  was  to  be  but  a  temporary 
dispersion.  But  the  prophets  who  predicted 
this  scattering  of  Israel  also  said  that  Israel 
would  be  "sifted"  among  the  nations,  "like  as 
corn  is  sifted"  and  that  not  a  "grain"  would  be 
lost  and  he  that  scattered  Israel  would  gather 
them.  They  were  to  have  a  place  appointed  unto 
them — in  the  Isles  north  and  west  from  Palestine 
where  they  Avould  move  no  more  and  where  they 
would  be  strengthened  and  would  become  a  na- 
tion, a  great  nation  ("and  thy  name  shall  be 
great")  and  a  "company"  or  "multitude  of  na- 


52  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

tions,"  from  which  one  section  was  to  break  aAvay 
and  become  a  "great  people,"  and  they  were  to 
be  God's  people  and  eventually  a  nation  of  priests 
to  God. 

I  would  like  to  have  the  Archbishop  of 
Canterbury's  rendering  of  Genesis  17:  4,  Avhich 
reads,  "As  for  me,  behold,  my  covenant  is  with 
thee  [Abraham],  and  thou  shalt  be  a  father  of 
many  nations  [Goyim].  Surely  God  did  not  tell 
Abraham  that  he  was  to  be  a  father  of  many 
heathen  unbelievers  or  Gentiles  but  that  He  in- 
tended him  to  be  the  father  of  many  nations  who 
were,  as  promised  to  Israel,  to  inherit  the  earth, — 
as  the  Gentiles  never  wdll. 

I  may  be  wrong  but  it  has  always  seemed 
to  me  that  it  is  as  necessary  to  use  coimnon  sense 
in  dealing  with  the  Bible  as  it  is  in  the  army, 
which  was  rarely  overloaded  with  that  commodity, 
so  necessary  in  business. 

The  church  was  to  be  in  Israel  but  it  could 
not  he  Israel  because  she  in  no  sense  fills  the 
specifications  laid  down  in  hundreds  of  cases  in 
the  Bible  that  describe  national,  literal  Israel, 
God's  Hebrew  people,  His  ten  servants,  His  battle 
axe  and  weapons  of  war. 

What  is  known  as  horse  sense,  with  or  with- 
out overmuch  learning,  is  a  great  asset  to  most 
people,  thougli  the  German  "high  lights"  showed 
little  of  it  when  they  signed  that  appeal  to  the 
world  at  the  beginning  of  the  war;  and  some  of 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  53 

our  Oxford  variety  exhibited  a  like  amount  after 
the  war  when  they  hankered  to  resume  old  re- 
lations before  German  professors  or  Germany 
had  shown  one  single  sign  of  repentance :  ' '  There 
are  none  so  blind  as  those  who  will  not  see" — 
university  professors  included!

Now,  what  became  of  Manasseh's  younger 
brother,  Ephraimf  Jacob,  Joseph's  father,  when 
blessing  Ephraim  in  Egypt,  said:  "His  seed  shall 
become  a  multitude  of  nations."  (Gen.  48:19.) 
Ferrar  Fenton's  version  has  it  in  verses  19  and 
20:  ''But  his  father  refused,  sajdng,  'I  knew  it  my 
son,  I  knew  it.  He  also  [Manasseh]  shall  be  a 
nation, — and  he  also  shall  be  great, — but  never- 
theless his  younger  brother  [Ephraim,  England] 
shall  be  greater  than  he  [Manasseh],  and  his  race 
shall  be  a  multitude  [or  commonwealth]  of  na- 
tions, and  when  blessing  in  that  period  they  shall 
say,  "The  Blessing  of  Israel  be  upon  you!  ]\Iay 
God  make  you  like  Ephraim  and  like  Manasseh," 
and  they  will  place  Ephraim  above  Manasseh.'  " 

These  two  boys  were  brothers,  and  the  na- 
tions springing  from  them  are  still  and  always 
will  be  called  Brother  Jonathan  and  Brother  John 
or  John  Bull.  One  has  grown  into  a  great  nation, 
just  as  predicted  about  the  year  1689  B.C.,  and 
the  other  has  grown  into  a  multitude,  or  as  some 
prophets  state,  "a  company  of  nations,"  and  the 
headquarters  are  located  in  the  "isles  of  the  sea," 
north  and  west  of  Palestine,  where  the  prophets 

56 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  57 

of  old  said  Jehovah  would  select  a  place,  a 
sanctuary  for  them,  and  where  the  other  nations 
would  afflict  them  no  more,  as  heretofore,  and 
they  never  have.  Just  note  those  saving  words — 
'*as  heretofore." 

AVhen  Israel  was  on  the  Continent  among 
the  nations,  they  were  subject  to  invasion  by 
Egyptian,  Assyrian,  African,  Babylonian  and 
Roman  Empire  troops,  but  when  they  beat  it 
aross  the  English  Channel,  their  island  home 
would  be  inviolate  and  they  could  not  be  invaded 
in  that  manner  any  more.  The  Creator  took  care 
that  the  Spanish  Armada  and  other  attempted 
invasions  were  properly  attended  to  by  the 
elements  when  their  enemies  sought  to  subdue 
Britain.  In  like  manner  Providence  has  taken 
care  of  Old  Mother  Britain  down  through  the 
ages,  just  as  the  children  of  Israel  were  to  be 
taken  care  of  by  God  that  they  might  carry  on  His 
work.  They  have  done  it  imperfectly,  of  course, 
but  they  have  been  about  as  perfect  as  are  you 
and  I  and  the  other  chaps  making  up  these  na- 
tions. But  when  we  get  wise  as  to  ^vho  we  are, 
what  we  are,  and  why  we  are,  we  will  brush  up 
our  imperfections.  Just  read  the  54th  chapter  of 
Isaiah  and  note  the  last  verse : 

"No  weapon  that  is  formed  against  thee  [Israel] 
shall  prosper ;  and  every  tongue  that  shall  rise  against 
thee  in  judgment  thou  shalt  condemn.  This  is  the 
heritage  of  the  servants  of  the  Lord,  and  their  right- 
eousness is  of  me,  saith  the  Lord." 


58  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Could  tliis  possibly  have  been  spoken  about 
the  Jews,  who  have  never  been  servants  of  the 
Lord.  "Their  righteousness  is  of  Me."  They 
crncified  onr  Lord  and  to-day  they  are  still  at  the 
game  prohibiting  the  word  Christian  from  being 
even  used  in  the  free  for  all  schools  of  America 
and  will  not  even  let  Christmas  carols  be  sung  or 
Christmas  trees  be  used  in  schools  where  they 
have  power  to  kick  them  out.  See  Jewish  activi- 
ties in  U.  S.  A.  by  Henry  Ford's  paper,  The  Dear- 
horn  Independent,  Dearborn,  Mich.  Price  25 
cents. 

If  we  only  realized  that  this  heritage  was 
for  us  Anglo-Saxon  Celts,  what  a  change  for  the 
better  would  come  over  the  face  of  this  earth! 
That  prediction  was  comforting  during  the  trying 
times  when  the  Huns  were  raiding  Britain  with 
Zeppelins  and  raiding  the  seven  seas  with  their 
submarines,  manned  by  the  most  sinister  pirates 
ever  afloat,  under  instructions  to  "leave  not  a 
trace" — their  record  of  sinking  the  Lusitania 
and  hospital  ships,  etc.,  will  remain  an  outstand- 
ing infamy  so  long  as  men  exist. 

Banking  upon  these  prophecies  meaning 
what  they  said,  I  was  quite  certain  over  our  pros- 
pects of  doing  them  in  ere  they  put  us  out  of  com- 
mission with  either  Zepps  or  submarines. 

I  remember  going  into  our  mess  late  one 
morning  when  the  only  occupant  was  our  senior 
parson,   a  charming  Englishman   and   preacher 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  59 

(now  a  real  live  Bishop  in  gaiters).  He  was  shak- 
ing his  head  and  looking  very  glum  as  he  perused 
the  Times  report  of  our  last  w^eek's  shipping 
sinkages. 

''Many  ships  gone  last  week,  Colonel?"  I 
asked. 

''I  am  afraid  the  Hun  will  do  us  in  at  the 
rate  they  are  sinking  our  ships,"  he  replied. 

Then  I  quoted:  "No  weapon  that  is  formed 
against  thee  [Israel]  shall  prosper";  but  the 
Colonel  being  one  of  those  knowledgeable  higher 
critic  chaps  from  Oxford,  who,  together  with  the 
German  higher  critics,  have  spiritualized  away  all 
God's  enduring  promises  from  ''the  latter"  and 
other  days,  naturally  could  not  see  my  cheerful 
outlook  for  a  minute,  and  admitted  that  he  could 
not  read  my  "stuff"  meaning  a  book  of  Marr 
Murray's  on  British-Israelism  that  I  had  loaned 
him  (hoping  to  have  an  argument  on  the  facts 
contained  therein),  but  he  ducked  the  issue  by  not 
reading  it,  alas ! 

My  progenitors,  when  passing  out  tempers, 
cut  mine  a  trifle  short  (the  w^ay  I  cut  my  hair), 
and  I  remember  we  finished  the  session  by  my  re- 
marking that  if  I  knew  as  damn  little  about  road- 
building  as  he  did  about  prophecy  and  the  Bible 
generally,  I'd  quit  my  road  job  and  sign  on  with 
the  cavalry  (who  at  that  time  were  mostly  eating 
their  heads  off  in  the  back  areas  and  had  been  for 
years). 


60  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

If  these  lines  ever  reach  the  Bishop  I'm 
sure  he  will  chuckle  over  some  of  the  strenuous 
arguments  we  used  to  engage  in :  because,  despite 
my  many  shortcomings,  perhaps  because  of  them, 
he  seemed  to  have  a  liking  for  me;  but,  being  an 
Englishman,  he  couldn't  express  it,  though  he 
presented  me  at  different  times  with  autographed 
copies  of  books  he  had  written  and  when  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Canterbury  came  to  our  Army  Head- 
quarters, I  was  among  those  who  were  invited  to 
meet  him,  to  give  "a  frank  expression  of  our  views 
on  subjects  of  Church  Reform,  etc." 

I've  always  regretted  missing  that  "show," 
but  after  much  wangling  I  had  just  succeeded  in 
securing  two  weeks'  leave  to  visit  our  Army  of 
Occupation  in  Germany ;  and,  having  worked  night 
and  day  for  several  years  headed  for  the  Rhine, 
I  felt  strong  for  the  trip,  so  I  beat  it  for  Cologne 
in  my  Vauxhall  limousine  and  missed  my  oppor- 
tunity of  giving  a  frank  expression  of  my  views. 
I  have  a  feeling  that  had  I  been  present  at  that 
Church  Reform  session  I  would  have  gotten 
sufficient  off  my  chest  to  have  at  least  caused  the 
Archbishop  to  remember  our  little  session.  Per- 
haps he  will  kindly  accept  a  copy  of  this  book  in- 
stead as  a  more  mature  expression  on  the  reforms 
needed  in  church. 

In  language  more  forceful  than  polite  I  had 
told  my  parson's  mess  mates  that  the  Church  of 
England,  speaking  generally,  was  as  dead  as  the 
busted  city  of  Ypres  and  that  she  would  continue 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  61 

so  until  her  archbishops,  bishops  and  clergy 
realized  what  Jesus  meant  when  he  said  (Matt. 
21 :  43),  ''The  kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken  from 
you  [Jews],  and  given  to  a  nation  bringing  forth 
the  fruits  thereof";  until  they  realized  that  there 
was  nothing  on  this  habitable  globe  as  certain  as 
the  "more  sure  word  of  prophecy";  and  until  they 
carried  out  the  injunction  to  "search  the  Script- 
ures" and  "find  the  sheep  that  were  lost,"  "the 
sheep  of  my  pasture,"  (and  this  flock  are  men, 
the  Lost  Ten  Tribes  of  Israel) ;  until  then,  I  told 
them,  their  church  would  remain  as  dead  as  a 
doornail  to  the  essential  needs  of  the  people  for 
Bible  enlightenment. 

When,  however,  they  see  this  great  truth, 
as  they  are  due  to  see  very  shortly,  then  indeed 
"will  the  Bible  become  the  living  Word  of  God; 
their  churches  will  be  filled  with  thronging  multi- 
tudes hungering  and  thirsting  for  the  Truth ;  and 
they  mil  be  in  a  position  to  expound  to  intel- 
ligent listeners  in  a  practical  way  that  would  in  no 
sense  detract  from  the  glory  of  God,  as  revealed 
b}''  Him  both  through  the  actions  of  men  and  na- 
tions upon  earth  now,  and  as  disclosed  through 
both  the  Old  and  New  Testaments.  Then  indeed, 
shall  we  see  that  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
predicted  by  Peter,  in  Acts  2 :17,  and  the  casting 
aside  of  the  vail  which  caused  blindness  in  part  to 
happen  to  Israel  until  the  fullness  of  the  Gentiles 
came  in, — which  arrived  in  1917  when  Britain  won 


62  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

the  Holy  Land  from  heathen  Turkey  or  Edom. 
God  said  His  people  Israel  would  redeem  Jerusa- 
lem. Britain  redeemed  it,  therefore  Britain  is 
Israel,  as  God  is  never  mistaken,  seeing  the  end 
from  the  beginning.  How  the  church  to-day  ducks 
this  historical  fact  is  beyond  my  comprehension. 
Wake  up  Christian  Churches ! 
Well,  what  about  a  waymark  for  the  young- 
er brother,  Ephraim  (England)  ?  Has  he  a  totem 
pole  showing  where  he  came  from?  He  surely 
has.  In  1819  Mehemet  Ali  of  Egypt  presented 
Cleopatra's  Needle  to  the  British  Government. 
Why,  I  wonder?  Wliy  didn't  he  give  it  to  Italy, 
Germany,  France,  Eussia  or  Spain?  Apparently 
when  given  it  was  a  white  elephant,  not  the  kind 
mth  a  capacity  for  eating  hay  all  night  and  all 
day  that  de  Wolf  Hopper  used  to  sing  about,  but 
still  "some  elephant."  I  can  imagine  the  con- 
sternation among  British  officialdom  on  how  to 
get  the  ''blooming  thing  'ome,"  because  the  wood- 
en ships  in  those  days  were  not  built  to  carry 
elongated  pebbles  of  its  size  on  the  open  sea.  Ap- 
parently it  laid  on  the  Egyptian  sands  for  fifty- 
eight  years,  after  it  w^as  gifted  unto  the  English, 
as  the  records  show  that  in  1877  it  was  loaded  into 
a  special  clyindrical  ship  built  for  it,  and  started 
for  England,  but  was  lost  and  supposed  to  have 
foundered  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay.  I  had  heard  of 
Rev.  Dr.  Wild  stating  from  his  pulpit  that  it 
would  not  be  lost  forever,  but  would  yet  be  found 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  63 

and  taken  to  England  as  a  witness  of  God's  care 
and  oversight  of  His  chosen  seed,  Israel,  located 
in  the  Brith-ish  or  Covenant  Isles. 

Evidently  the  Creator  and  Governor  of  this 
world  had  a  different  plan  for  this  wajinark  than 
dropping  it  to  the  bottom  of  the  sea  in  Biscay  Bay, 
for,  after  floating  around  for  some  weeks,  wrecked 
and  lost,  it  was  sighted,  taken  in  tow,  and  finally 
landed  at  its  destination,  and  to-day  stands  in  the 
heart  of  the  greatest  city  of  the  world,  on  the 
Thames  Embankment,  London,  not  only  as  a  mark 
of  the  place  of  origin  of  Ephraim,  Israel,  but  also 
of  the  brotherhood  between  the  United  States  of 
America  and  Great  Britain,  offspring  peoples  of 
Joseph's  two  sons,  born  in  Egypt  before  the 
Exodus.  Whom  God  hath  joined  together,  let  no 
man  put  asunder — neither  Sinn  Feiner  or  pro- 
German.  As  children,  the  two  lads  playing 
around  these  monuments  likely  claimed  one  each, 
and  to-day  they  have  them  in  reality,  one  in  New 
York  and  the  other  in  London. 

For  fear  that  you  may  kick  at  having  only 
one  waymark  for  so  great  a  people,  may  I  be  per- 
mitted to  point  out  that  America  and  Britain  have 
all  Israel's  heraldry  between  them;  your  coins 
and  seals  of  state  carry  the  marks  of  your  origin. 
In  1879  Rev.  Joseph  Wild,  preaching  in  Brooklyn 
Church,  N.  Y.,  gave  the  marks  of  Manasseh  pos- 
sessed by  America,  and  more  recently  Rev.  J.  H. 
Allen,  of  California,  has  published  a  very  readable 


64  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

small  book  called  The  National  Number  and 
Heraldry  of  the  United  States  of  America,  price 
forty  cents.  I  mention  the  price  because,  if  you 
are  not  Scotch,  perhaps  you  will  venture  this  small 
amount  for  it.  I  can  guarantee  it  will  be  as 
stimulating  to  that  wee  streak  of  vanity  we  all 
possess  as  any  highball  ever  swallowed. 

What  a  strange  thing  the  mind  is!  The 
second  I  wrote  that  word  "highball"  my  thought 
switched  to  a  scene  in  that  quaint  and  beautiful 
old  town  of  BailleuT  in  Northern  France,  now  un- 
fortunately level  with  the  ground,  where  an  army 
corps  had  its  headquarters  in  the  winter  of  1915. 
The  army  was  not  then  as  dry  as  it  became  in 
1918,  and  every  visitor  to  an  engineer's  mess  was 
invited  to  "wet  his  whistle."  One  always-wel- 
comed-Major,  now  a  Brigadier-General,  took  his 
initial  dose  for  "wet  feet,"  and  when  the  bottle 
was  pushed  his  way  a  second  time,  with  the  invi- 
tation "have  another,"  he  would  remark,  "well, 
a  pigeon  can 't  fly  with  one  wing.  Here 's  to  you ! ' ' 
I  may  say  that  the  aforementioned  chap  usually 
had  a  supply  of  wings  that  made  him  feel  like  a 
real  bird  ere  he  flew  for  another  turn  at  duty 
among  the  shells. 

You  will  remember  that  your  nation  set  up 
in  business  of  their  own  in  1776.  Due  perliaps  to 
your  faulty  school  ])ooks,  you  may  not  remember 
or  know  that  the  bulk  of  British  people  in  England 
were  as  opposed  to  taxation  for  America  as  were 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  65 

the  British  people  then  in  America  who  rebelled, 
and  so  strong  was  this  feeling  in  England  that 
the  English  king, — one  removed  from  being  made 
in  Germany ! — had  to  pay  Hessians  to  come  over 
to  light  against  yon;  as  British  soldiers  would 
neither  volunteer  nor  enlist. 

Your  American  author,  Owen  AVister,  has 
written  a  splendid  book  called  A  Straight  Deal  or 
the  Ancient  Grudge,  which  every  American  and 
Britisher  should  read.  He  points  out  how 
America,  as  well  as  England,  has  land-grabbed 
from  the  lesser  breeds  without  the  law,  first  from 
the  Indians  time  after  time  (though  America  had 
to  break  treaty  after  treaty  to  do  so),  then  Flor- 
ida, Texas,  California,  Arizona,  Nevada,  Alaska, 
Cuba,  Phillipines,  etc.  What  Owen  Wister  does 
not  point  out,  or  perhaps  does  not  know,  is  that 
you  are  only  fulfilling  your  God-given  destiny 
and  taking  on  your  inheritance  in  settling  the 
coasts  and  waste  places  of  the  earth;  your 
treaties  were  overruled  time  after  time  to  make 
you  colonize  what  was  then  a  waste,  the  southern 
half  of  North  America. 

"Ask  of  me,  and  I  shall  give  thee  [Israel]  the 
heathen  for  thine  inheritance,  and  the  uttermost  parts 
of  the  earth  for  thy  possession."     (Ps.  2:8.) 

"Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  an  acceptable  time  have 
I  heard  thee  [Israel],  and  in  a  day  of  salvation  have 
I  helped  thee :  and  I  will  preserve  thee,  and  give  thee 
for  a  covenant  of  the  people,  to  establish  the  earth, 
to  cause  to  inherit  the  desolate  heritages."  (Isa. 
49:8.) 


66  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

It  was  a  large  contract  but  our  forefathers 
have  worked  at  it  for  hundreds  of  years;  your 
Puritan  Forefathers  knew  what  it  meant  to  es- 
tablish their  section  of  the  ''desolate  heritages," 
and  furthermore,  they  believed  that  they  were  ful- 
filling the  above  particular  prophecy  and  they 
believed  that  they  were  what  I  say  3^ou  are,  God 's 
Israel,  as  I  will  try  to  show  you  later  on.  Their 
settlement  was  a  little  one,  but,  as  was  prophe- 
sied in  Isaiah  60:22,  "A  little  one  shall  become  a 
thousand,  and  a  small  one  a  strong  nation. ' '  You 
started,  a  little  one,  and  you  have  become  a  strong 
nation. 

Well,  I  started  in  on  wajanarks,  and  I've 
drifted  away  from  them  on  these  numerous  side- 
lines that  to  me  are  so  interesting  that  I  set  them 
down,  hoping  they  may  help  formulate  your  opin- 
ion as  to  who  you  are,  where  you  come  from  and 
what  your  job  is. 

When  America  won  its  predicted  Independ- 
ence, what  do  you  suppose  they  put  on  their  Great 
Seal,  which  was  adopted  by  Congress,  June  20, 
1782?  Of  course  you  don't  know.  Manasseh 
means  in  Hebrew  "forgetfulness"  and  Americans 
have  forgotten  the  place  of  their  origin  where 
Joseph's  son  was  born  in  the  city  of  Memphis, 
a  few  miles  from  the  greatest  wonder  of  the 
world,  the  Great  Pyramid  of  Gizeh  witli  its  cap- 
stone missing.  The  Creator  is  not  a  forgetter, 
however,  and  the  reverse  side  of  your  Great  Seal 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  67 

has  as  its  main  feature  an  unfinished  Pyramid 
with  the  All-seeing  Eye  above  it,  as  another  sign 
or  wajanark  of  their  home  land  by  which  Ameri- 
cans may  locate  their  identity. 

America  and  Britain,  between  them,  have 
all  the  Hebrew  Israelitish  heraldrj^  fairly  evenly 
distributed,  so  its  up  to  you  to  polish  up  your  for- 
getter  and  know  who  you  are,  how  you  got  here, 
and  what  God's  plan  is  for  your  next,  greatest  and 
last  war. 

Some  of  us  at  the  Front  thought  you  took 
''a  long  time"  to  get  into  the  recent  disturbance 
in  France  and  Flanders,  and  we  are  a  bit  anxious 
that  you  do  not  let  it  become  a  habit.  Despite  all 
the  talk  of  ''peace,  peace,  where  there  is  no 
peace,"  some  twenty-eight  wars  are  going  on  as  I 
write  this.  Despite  the  man-made  League  of  Na- 
tions, made  apparently  without  God 's  guidance  or 
will,  made  contrary  to  the  divine  plan  for  hand- 
ling world-wide  problems  and  bringing  peace  and 
goodwill  on  earth,  it  will  not  stop  the  Bible  war 
schedule  being  carried  out  and  on  time.  "War  is 
not  over;  the  League  of  Nations  a\tl11  not  stop 
war.  Armageddon  has  yet  to  be  fought  and 
America  must  not  again  be  a  tailender.  If  they 
get  wise  to  who  they  are  and  what  the  Creator's 
plan  is  for  their  next  war,  they  would  never  lay 
down  the  keel  of  another  dreadnought  at  forty 
million  dollars  per  ship,  because  these  ships  will 
be  wasted  and  the  millions  spent  on  each  of  them 


68  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

might  as  well  he  thrown  in  mid  ocean.  More 
dreadnoughts  for  America's  next  war  will  be  quite 
as  useful  for  her  needs  as  a  cow  is  for  climbing- 
telegraph  poles,  and  no  more.  General  Leonard 
AYood  in  the  January,  1921,  Metropolitan  de- 
scribes your  blind  pre-war  condition  so  accurate- 
ly that  I  quote  it  for  your  future  consideration  and 
guidance : 

''We  had  the  men,  we  had  the  money  too!  But 
although  God  had  given  us  eyes  to  see,  ears  to  hear, 
memory  to  carry  and  an  intelligence  to  apply  the 
lesson  of  all  time,  apparently  our  eyes  had  not  seen, 
our  ears  had  not  heard,  our  memory  not  carried,  nor 
had  our  intelligence  applied  the  lessons  of  the  past ! 
It  was  slow  in  applying  those  of  the  present.  There 
was  no  thought-out  plan  of  action." 

General  "Wood  knew  whereof  he  spake  as 
well  as  any  man  on  this  American  Continent.  Yet 
what  is  your  thought-out  plan  of  action  to-day  f 
You  don't  even  know  that  Armageddon  has  yet  to 
be  fought!  AYlioever  christened  you  Manasseh 
certainly  must  have  had  foreknowledge  of  your 
long  suit,  "Forgetfulness." 

It  has  been  said  by  some  of  your  American 
papers  that  you  were  caught  with  your  hands  tied 
in  the  last  war,  though  j^our  politicians  had  many 
3'ears  notice  from  some  of  j^our  naval  officers  of 
how  things  were  heading.  In  future,  do  not  tempt 
Providence  overmuch,  because  France  and  Broth- 
er John  may  not  be  in  a  position  to  hold  on  and 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  69 

save  the  world  again  while  Brother  Jonathan's 
politicians  are  deciding  whether  or  not  he  is  too 
' '  proud  to  light, ' '  and  are  hushing  up  everything, 
trying  to  be  neutral  in  thought,  word  and  deed, 
with  Europe  being  murdered  by  a  ruthless  soul- 
destroying  antichristian  combination  out  to  ham- 
string that  world  liberty  and  freedom  which 
America  has  always  stood  for. 

Many,  many  j^ears  ago  Germany  invented 
the  poison  gas  of  higher  criticism  and  year  after 
5^ear  her  ministers  kicked  away  first  this,  that 
and  the  other  prop  of  peoples'  belief  in  the  in- 
spiration of  the  Bible  until  Martin  Luther  would 
not  recognize  as  Christian  their  creed  that  might 
is  right,  when  made  in  Germany.  When  made  in 
France,  England  or  at  Versailles,  of  course, 
might  is  not  right.  Their  poison  gas  during  the 
war  was  no  more  deadly  to  the  Allies  than  their 
poison  gas  of  higher  criticism  was  on  their  o\\ti 
people  before  the  war  and  not  one  half  as  deadly 
as  their  world-wide  propaganda  against  Britain 
in  Kussia,  China,  India,  Egypt,  Ireland,  United 
States  and  elsewhere.  Germany  well  under- 
stands that  if  she  can  separate  Brother  John  and 
Brother  Jonathan,  she  may  still  have  a  chance  to 
dominate  the  world,  and  the  world  has  never  seen 
such  efforts  to  drive  us  apart  as  are  now  on 
foot  through  their  spy  system  again  worrking 
overtime  all  over  America  and  Canada;  ''but  the 
wise  shall  understand." 


70  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

When  your  fighting  men  got  to  the  Front, 
they  shoAved  tliat  they  were  the  equal  of  Cana- 
dians, Australians,  New  Zealanders,  South  Afri- 
cans and  that  staunch  old  backbone  of  all  the 
armies,  "Tonn:ny,"  Tonmiy  from  England,  Ire- 
land, Scotland  and  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the 
earth. 

Britain's  call  to  her  children  and  their 
response  was,  to  my  mind,  the  most  sublime  pic- 
ture ever  presented  on  this  sphere:  men  in  mil- 
lions, giving  up  wealth,  position,  ease,  comfort, 
their  wives  and  children  and  everything  that  men 
have  held  worth  while  in  this  life,  to  fight  for  God 
in  France  and  Belgium,  in  order  that  freedom 
should  not  perish  from  the  face  of  this  earth.  I 
used  to  pass  these  fighting  men  marching  up  to 
the  Front  in  the  winter  of  1916  drenched  with  the 
doA\mpouring  rain  and  sleet,  foot  slogging  through 
the  mud  on  their  way  up  to  the  trenches,  that 
were  then  knee-deep  in  mud,  slush,  dirt  and  filth. 
Only  those  who  have  been  through  that  sordid 
ordeal,  the  winter  of  1915-1916,  can  ever  know 
the  misery  to  our  fighting  troops  of  that  winter 
in  front  of  Ypres.  One  would  never  consider  for 
a  minute  putting  a  dog  or  a  pig  or  any  animal 
into  the  quarters  our  men  held  through  those  try- 
ing days  and  months  and  years.  I  felt  like  taking 
my  hat  off  to  thom  every  time  I  saw  them  march- 
ing in,  well  knowing  that  from  ten  to  fifty  per 
cent,  of  them  would  not  come  out,  except  possibly 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  71 

on  a  stretcher.  I  felt  that  some  Power  greater 
than  our  ordinary  clay  caused  these  millions  of 
men  to  serve  God,  King  and  Country  in  those 
heartrending  years.  Again,  I  am  off  the  main 
track  and  on  a  siding. 

Manasseh  (Hebrew  for  forgetfulness)  was 
the  thirteenth  tribe  of  Israel,  as  Ephraim,  given 
the  birthright,  took  his  father's  (Joseph's)  place 
as  the  twelfth  tribe.  Has  America  any  waymarks 
indicating  that  they  are  the  thirteenth  tribe  of 
Israel? 

1.  The    Pyramid    on    your    government'vS    Great 

Seal  has  just   thirteen  tiers  of  stone. 

2.  There   are    thirteen  bars   or   pal  ways   on   the 

shield  which  your  eagle  holds  as  there  were 
thirteen  strips  of  land  in  Palestine. 

3.  There  are  thirteen  arrows  in  the  eagle's  right 

claw. 

4.  There  are  thirteen  leaves  in  the  olive  branch 

in  the  left  claw  thus  symbolizing  that  you 
are  a  branch  of  that  good  olive  tree. 
(Romans  11:24.) 

5.  Thirteen  stars  above  the  eagle's  head. 

6.  E.   Plurihus    Unum   has   thirteen   letters   and 

means  one  out  of  many  (one  tribe  out  of 
many  tribes  of  Israel  and  the  thirteenth 
tribe.) 

If  you  read  J.  H.  Allen's  book*  you  will 
locate  just  thirteen  different  thirteens  that  mark 
Manasseh  as  the  thirteenth  tribe.     You  did  not 

*The  National  Number  and  IleraUlry  of  the  United  States 
of  America. 


72  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

set  up  in  national  business  until  you  had  thirteen 
Brith-ish  or  Covenant  colonies  to  start  up  with 
(why  not  twelve  or  fourteen?)  and  you  never 
changed  your  heraldic  number  thirteen  when  you 
added  to  your  states  except  by  adding  additional 
stars  to  3'our  flag. 

Jacob  had  twelve  children. 

1.  Reuben 

2.  Simeon 

3.  Levi 

4.  Judah 

5.  Asher 

6.  Naphtali 

7.  Zebulon 

8.  Gad 

9.  Dan 

10.  Issachar 

11.  Benjamin 

12.  Joseph — 12  Ephraim 

13  Manasseh 

As  Joseph  had  two  sons,  a  double  portion 
was  given  him  for  Ephraim  and  Manasseh,  thus 
making  the  thirteen.  Now  Jacob  set  Ephraim 
before  Manasseh,  this  making  him  twelfth  and 
making  Manasseh  the  thirteenth  son  and  tribe.

CHAPTER  IV. 

Moses  led  the  children  of  Israel  out  of 
Egypt  about  1492  B.C.,  and  the  same  number  of 
years  after  Christ,  the  American  Continent  was 
discovered  by  a  Spanish  Jew,  and  it  has  proved 
no  less  a  land  of  deliverance  to  millions  of  Israel- 
ites, Jews  and  Gentiles  alike. 

When  leaving  Egypt,  the  people  marched 
in  sections  or  groups  of  three  tribes  on  each  side 
of  the  Ark  of  the  Tabernacle,  and  here  we  get 
the  first  example  of  the  British  ' 'hollow  square," 
used  by  their  fighting  troops  for  centuries  to 
repel  attacks. 

Ephraim,  Manasseh,  and  Benjamin,  chil- 
dren and  grandchildren  of  Jacob  through  Rachel, 
marched  on  the  west  side  of  the  Tabernacle  under 
a  banner  having  a  bull's  head  on  it.  The  word 
''bull"  in  Hebrew  is  Engle,  and  the  tribe  of 
Ephraim  later,  in  their  wanderings  up  and  do^\ai 
and  across  Europe,  gradually  came  to  be  called 
by  the  name  of  their  flag,  "Engles"  or  "Angles." 
When  Ephraim  and  their  followers  invaded  Bri- 
tain, does  it  seem  strange  that  they  called  the  sec- 
tion of  the  Covenant  land  they  took  possession  of 
Engle  or  Bull  Land,  and  that  the  name  has  stuck 

75 


76  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

down  through  the  ages  in  the  names  of  Johnnie 
Bull  and  his  countrj'  Engle  (or  Bull)  Land?  Also 
when  they  came  to  America  they  established  a 
new  Engle  land  in  Massachusetts.  As  the  Assyr- 
ians, the  modern  Huns,  have  run  true  to  type 
through  several  thousand  years,  so  surely  does 
Johnnie  Bull  or  Ephraim  carry  do^vTi  from  early 
Bible  days  his  then  prevailing  characteristics. 

To-day  the  average  Frenchman  and  most 
Europeans  tliink  the  typical  Englishman  is  a 
proud,  haughty  mortal,  impressed  with  his  own 
national  superiority,  which  he  shows  in  a  man- 
ner and  with  an  air  that  offends  them  all ;  but  the 
aforementioned  Englishman  neither  compre- 
hends nor  bothers  about  it.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  Yankee,  Canadian  or  Australian,  has  quite  as 
large  an  opinion  of  his  particular  importance  to 
this  world  and  will  tell  you  all  about  it  without 
any  side  or  effort  to  suppress  himself,  in  a  way 
that  isn't  done  "at  'ome"  and  that  shocks  the 
Englishman  to  the  core;  but  which  the  French- 
man and  European  understands  and  is  not  of- 
fended at.    AMiy? 

Isaiah  28:1  says,  ''AYoe  to  the  crowm  of 
pride,  to  the  drunkards  of  Ephraim,"  and  in  the 
3rd  verse  for  fear  they  should  be  overlooked, 
these  characteristics  are  again  repeated:  ''The 
crowni  of  pride,  the  drunkards  of  Ephraim,  shall 
be  trodden  under  feet" — as  they  were  at  the  time 
that  chapter  refers  to.    0,  drinking  stiff-necked

Ephraim  of  Bible  days,  how  are  you  now?  Well, 
after  over  three  years  close  association  with  him 
in  all  his  moods  and  tenses,  I'm  of  the  opinion 
that  he  hasn't  changed  much  more  than  the 
leopard  has  his  spots.  His  crown  of  pride  he 
still  wears  with  an  effort  hardly  concealed,  to 
make  himself  believe  he  has  none.  He  would 
have  his  drink  until  he  became  drunken  three 
thousand  years  ago  and  he  will  have  it  yet.  Some 
pubs  in  London  are  to-day  filled  with  drinking 
and  drunken  women.  The  bulk  of  the  hardy 
upstanding  j^eomanry  of  centuries  ago  are  gone 
and  the  war  showed  such  a  large  percentage  of 
recruits  of  ''class  3"  calibre  that  it  appalled  the 
country.  Had  it  not  been  for  the  old-fashioned 
lion  hearts  discovered  in  those  ''class  3"  phy- 
siques, and  brought  to  the  surface  by  the  war,  it 
would  have  fared  much  worse  with  our  Allies. 

I  once  asked  a  war  correspondent  why  it 
was  the  newspapers  always  plastered  Canadians, 
Australians,  New  Zealanders,  and  occasionally 
the  Scotch  and  Irish  with  peans  of  praise  for 
their  good  fighting  work  and  hardly  mentioned 
the  English  who  formed  over  sixty-two  per  cent, 
of  all  the  British  armies  on  all  our  fronts.  Well, 
he  rather  thought,  you  know,  that  they  didn  't  ex- 
pect it.  They  sure  didn't  get  it  anyway!  ^Many 
times  I've  felt  cheap  at  seeing  only  Canadian 
troops  mentioned  by  the  newspapers  in  a  fight 
when  I  knew  that  three-quarters  of  the  fighting. 


78  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  splendid  fighting,  was  done  by  English  troops 
on  our  right  and  left.  What  the  English  men,  and 
women  too,  from  Devonshire  and  the  ports  of 
England  did  on  our  merchantmen  and  hospital 
ships  and  navy,  to  keep  open  the  sea  lanes  of  traf- 
fic and  supplies  for  all  the  armies  and  for  trans- 
porting American  troops,  was  superb  in  its  daring. 
Some  of  these  men  and  w^omen  had  ship  after 
ship  sink  under  them,  sunk  by  the  German  sea 
pirates  in  their  submarines.  But  when  saved, 
they  went  again  to  the  nearest  port  and  signed  up 
and  so  carried  on  their  share  in  helping  Britain 
win  the  war.  These  English  civilians  shouldered 
a  most  hazardous  work,  that  made  unrecognized 
heroes  of  them  all  without  either  glory  or  praise. 
Drink  and  its  attendant  and  following 
evils,  bad  living  conditions,  poor  housing,  etc., 
has  been  a  national  sin  and  evil  in  Ephraim 
(England)  for  ages,  and  is  and  has  been  and  will 
continue  to  be  paid  for  at  the  highest  market 
price — as  is  always  the  way.  You  cannot  break 
God's  laws  on  booze,  and  get  away  with  it  any 
more  than  you  could  with  slavery.  The  mills  of 
God  grind  slowly  but  they  grind,  and  the  old 
order  has  not  been  changed  since  it  was  said, 
''AVhatsoever  a  man  soweth,  that  shall  he  also 
reap."  What  crop  can  Ephraim  expect  from  their 
liquor  bills  of  1919  and  1920?  Mr.  Geo.  R.  Wilson 
of  the  United  Kingdom  Alliance  published,  in  the 
Daily  Mail  Year  Book,  statistics  showing  an  in- 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  79 

crease  of  60  per  cent,  absolute  alcohol  used  in 
1919  over  that  used  in  1918. 

In  1918  the  permitted  output  of  beer,  per 
annum,  was  12,500,000  standard  barrels  at  the 
time  of  the  Armistice;  by  June  of  1919  it  had 
risen  to  25,454,000  barrels;  and  since  then  it  has 
been  unrestricted  and  has  increased  accordingly. 
Beer  and  wine  have  increased  70  per  cent,  and 
spirits  43  per  cent.  In  1918  in  the  United  King- 
dom they  spent  £259,300,000  against  £166,000,000 
in  1913  and  £386,600,000  for  1919.  At  $4.80  per 
pound  this  would  be  $1,854,680,000  for  beer,  wine, 
and  spirits  for  one  year.*  It  hardly  seems 
enough?  Only  £13.14  shillings  per  head  of  popu- 
lation over  twenty-one  years  of  age  including 
a  large  population  of  abstainers, — a  tax  equal  to 
$65.00  a  head  for  booze  per  annum.  Who  but 
England  could  or  would  stand  for  it?  Do  you 
think  Ephraim  has  changed  his  spots  much  since 
Isaiah's  time  when  he  was  labelled  ''drunken "I 
''Ephraim  is  joined  to  idols:  let  him  alone." 
Hosea  4 :  17  is  apparently  true  to-day.  Yes,  you 
can  take  it  that  tribal  characteristics  do  pass 
from  generation  to  generation,  in  Israel  as  else- 
where, and  that  Johnnie  Bull  has  not  been  weaned 
from  lapping  up  more  fire-water,  strong  beer, 
porter  and  ale  than  is  good  for  the  space  beneath 
his  waistcoat.     America  has   gone   dry,   as   has

Canada  legally,  though  still  semiwet  actually. 
Brother  John  will  have  to  join  up  or  be  left  be- 
hind through  the  inefficiency  generated  by  alcohol. 
Well  might  England  follow  the  advice  His  Ma- 
jesty gave  them  some  years  ago  to  "wake  up." 

If  you  wish  to  know  if  ''stiff-necked"  and 
''stubborn  generation"  still  applies,  just  live 
with  his  regular  soldiers  for  a  few  years  and  try 
to  inoculate  them  with  a  few  new  ideas  on  how 
to  get  on  with  the  war.  They  are  as  impervious 
to  new  ideas  as  the  Sphinx  is  to  pin  pricks.  I 
don't  know  if  all  the  stiff-necked  stubborn  ones 
foregathered  as  regular  soldiers  or  whether  it  is 
the  army  that  breeds  that  particular  brand  of 
stubbornness,  but  they  surely  were  plentiful 
thereabouts,  in  my  locality  at  any  rate.  'Tis 
probably  this  same  stubbornness  rightly  directed 
that  has  enabled  British  soldiers  and  armies  to 
break  the  back  of  every  menace  to  which  the 
world  has  been  subject  for  hundreds  of  years. 

AVhen,  however,  it  comes  to  giving  you  a 
square  deal,  conmiend  me  to  the  aforementioned 
stiffnecked  chap,  who,  if  it  wasn't  done  in  Crom- 
Avell's  time,  sees  many  reasons  why  it  should  not 
be  done  now.  He  does  not  praise  you  for  the 
finest  bit  of  work  you  ever  did,  but  then,  he 
doesn't  look  for  praise  himself,  and  he  doesn't 
get  any  of  it  either  from  his  superiors !  It  is  bad 
form,  you  know,  to  give  vent  to  your  real  feelings ; 
your  face  must  be  as  calm  and  unexpressive  as  a 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  81 

''ball  of  yarn."  Bless  me,  but  I  used  to  shock 
some  of  those  red-tabbed  chaps  with  major-gen- 
eral written  all  over  them,  when  giving  vent  to 
my  feelings  and  opinions  in  good  old  American 
"langwidge"  picked  up  in  Wisconsin  in  the  early 
nineties,  handling  Swedes  and  Finlanders;  and 
not  entirely  disposed  of  since,  as  it  frequently 
crops  out  on  provocation  at  unexpected  times,  I 
regret  to  state. 

Tliat  same  stubborn  persistence  is  what 
makes  our  British  Tommy  and  his  officers  such 
splendid  fighters.  They  haven't  an  idea  that  they 
can  be  licked;  they  are  out  to  win  and  they  just 
hang  on  until  the  last  shot  is  fired,  and  then  some, 
and  its  a  sorry  day  when  Tommy  is  not  cheerful 
over  tlie  toughest  kind  of  hard  luck. 

Here  is  a  fair  sample.  One  day  in  the  fall 
of  1916  I  was  looking  at  a  road  on  the  Hospital 
Grounds  near  Contay,  in  the  Somme  Area.  The 
officer  conmianding  was  receiving  several  hundred 
wounded  from  the  Courcelette  fight.  I  met  a  walk- 
case  hobbling  along  the  duckboard  walk — a  sorry 
sight  to  look  at. 

"Well,  Tommy,  it  looks  like  Blighty  for 
yours,"  I  said, — Blighty  was  heaven  in  those 
days. 

I  wonder  if  I  can  picture  him  for  you.  He 
looked  forty,  dressed  in  khaki  caked  with  clay 
and  chalk  mud  from  his  boots  to  his  neck.  He 
had  no  hat,  his  head  was  all  bandaged  up,  also 


82  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

his  neck  and  his  chin;  one  side  of  his  face  bulg- 
ing out  of  the  bandage  was  three  inches  bigger 
than  the  other  and  the  cheek  and  eye  were  black 
and  blue  as  if  he  had  been  kicked  by  a  mule ;  his 
left  arm  was  not  in  his  tunic,  but  in  a  sling;  he 
limped  badly,  and  his  pants  were  slit  open  from 
below  the  knee  to  the  thigh,  with  white  bandage 
and  blood  showing  through  the  split  trousers. 
He  had  a  big  tag  tied  to  his  tunic  giving  his  name, 
number,  regiment,  what  dope  he  had  had,  if  any, 
and  where  he  was  billed  for ;  so  that  if  he  dropped 
anywhere,  they  had  his  particulars,  while  he  could 
give  them,  and  on  he  would  go.  He  looked  so  bat- 
tered up  that  I  asked, 

''Well,  Tommy,  what  did  you  get?" 
Speaking  through  his  closed  teeth  he  said, 
"Well,  sir,  the  worst  is  this  'ere  shot  through 
my  cheek,  that  took  out  all  my  lower  teeth  on  the 
right  side  and  came  out  through  the  side  of  my 
neck. ' ' 

Then  there  were  two  scalp  wounds  with 
shrapnel,  chin  cut,  wrist  broken  or  sprained — 
I've  forgotten  which — and  a  bullet  had  gone  clean 
through  the  muscles  of  his  right  leg  above  the 
knee.  There  he  was  limping  along  the  duck- 
boards,  waiting  for  the  ambulance  to  take  him  to 
the  hospital  train,  and  no  one  paying  any  more  at- 
tention to  him,  after  he  was  through  the  receiv- 
ing tent,  than  if  he  was  an  armj^  mule.  I  'm  afraid 
I  must  have  forgotten  my  temporary  army  train- 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  83 

ing  and  let  a  little  feeling  slip  into  my  voice  when 
I  remarked, 

"Well,  you  sure  got  a  full  dose." 

''Oh!  I'm  danm  lucky,  sir!  All  my  mates 
were  killed. ' ' 

Can  you  beat  it  for  real  spirit?  Tommy, 
Tommy,  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth, 
with  his  unquenchable  spirit  won  the  war,  with 
God's  help,  then  only  after  every  Anglo-Saxon 
nation  had  otfered  national  prayers  asking  God's 
help  and  guidance  in  those  stern  days  in  the 
spring  and  summer  of  1918  on  the  Amiens  Front. 
Get  that?  You  must,  because  it  is  the  key  to  the 
offensive  that  won  the  war! 

Most  people  at  home  would  feel  that  they 
were  badly  used  under  foregoing  conditions;  but 
there  was  Tommy,  asking  no  favors  and  surely 
getting  none,  and  feeling  that  he  was  ''damn 
lucky"  to  be  alive.  All  his  mates  were  dead, 
torn  to  pieces  by  shells,  drowned  in  mud  and 
waler-filled  shell-holes  as  they  tried  to  navigate 
their  way  back  to  the  dressing  stations.  He  could 
look  after  himself,  wounded  as  he  was;  and  his 
duty  was  to  do  so  to  his  full  limit  and  until  he 
dropped — then  it  became  the  duty  of  the  stretcher- 
bearers,  and  they  took  on  the  job  if  they  saw  him 
fall,  or  if  thej^  found  him. 

That's  another  thing  for  which  Ave  have  to 
take  off  our  hats  to  Johnnie  Bull.  He  is  strong 
on  duty — duty  that  must  be  done ;  and  he  is  strong 


84  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

for  law,  order  and  liberty.  I  grew  to  love  him 
like  a  brother,  because  I  could  see  him  as  he  never 
could  see  himself.  Bless  his  whole  tribe,  with 
his  faults  and  his  strong  fair-dealing  proclivities ! 
He  has  carried  his  section  of  God's  people  for- 
ward by  a  way  he  knew  not,  and  will  yet  lead 
them  still  further  forward  until  the  millennium 
ushers  in  a  newer  order,  which  I  hope  many  of  us 
will  live  to  see  (after  we  finish  Armageddon) ; 
because,  though  I  am  no  "spring  chicken,"  I  have 
hopes  of  serving  in  Armageddon  as  a  roadbuilder 
and  I  hope  to  start  a  few  years  ahead  instead  of 
having  to  do  everything  in  the  heat  of  war,  as  it 
could  be  done  so  much  easier  now,  just  as  Fritz 
built  his  strategical  railways  to  Belgian  and 
French  borders  before  1914, 

The  British  regular  army  has  on  their  list 
doing  active  service  in  forsaken  outposts  of  the 
Empire,  such  as  the  hills  of  India,  etc.,  men  of 
independent  means  by  the  thousand,  who  leave 
wife  and  family  and  serve  solely  at  the  call  of 
duty.  They  accept  as  a  regular  diet  what  we 
civilians  turned  our  hands  to  for  a  few  years  at 
the  call  of  our  King  or,  in  your  case,  at  the  call 
of  your  country.  What  the  British  regular  officer 
and  British  civil  servants  have  done  for  the 
heathen  for  centuries  is  beyond  praise ;  and  mark 
tliis:  you,  Manasseh,  are  quite  as  much  benefited 
by  it  as  is  John  Bull  &  Company,  because  wher- 
ever Britain  paves  the  way  at  the  cost  of  her 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  85 

treasure  and  lives,  America  is  as  free  to  follow 
and  trade,  as  is  Britain,  Canada  or  other 
sections  of  our  glorious  heritage.  May  bles- 
sings rest  on  those  thousands  of  civil  ser- 
vants and  officers  of  His  Majesty's  army  and 
navy,  who  for  several  hundred  years  have  been 
and  are  now  carrying  along  the  Creator's  work 
in  those  waste  places  of  the  earth  and  among  the 
heathen,  carrying  with  them  justice  and  fairdeal- 
ing,  honor,  truth  and  duty  and  goodwill  to  all 
men,  be  they  black,  white  or  yellow! 

President-elect  Warren  G.  Harding  wrote 
to  the  Chairman  of  the  Sulgrave  Institute  recent- 
ly a  letter  that  places  him  in  the  statesman  class. 

"Destiny  has  made  it  a  historical  fact  that  the 
English-speaking  peoples  have  been  the  instrument 
through  which  civilization  has  been  flung  to  the  far 
corners  of  the  globe. 

"I  am  impressed  not  so  much  by  the  glory  that 
English-speakng  peoples  may  take  to  themselves, 
as  by  the  profound  duties  that  God  has  thrust  upon 
them — duties  of  being  restrained,  tolerant  and  just. 

"These  duties  will  find  their  greatest  recognition 
in  a  united,  unshakable  friendship  and  understanding 
and  oneness  of  purpose — not  for  the  exclusion  from 
brotherhood  of  others,  but  for  a  better  brotherhood 
flowing  towards  others." 

Israel  was  to  be  God's  servant,  His  instru- 
ment to  take  civilization,  law,  and  ordered  liberty 
to  the  ends  of  the  earth.  If,  as  President  Hard- 
ing says,  ''English-speaking  peoples  have  been 


86  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

the  instrument"  to  do  just  what  Israel  was  to  do, 
then,  the  English-speaking  people  are  Israel. 
President  AVarren  G.  Harding,  elected  head  of 
God's  "great  people,"  has  spoken  the  truth. 

Your  President  plainly  recognizes  that 
God  has  thrust  this  duty  upon  us  English-speak- 
ing peoples;  and  he  does  well.  I  wonder  if  he 
will  be  able  to  recognize  the  connection  between 
his  words  and  these  inspired  words  of  the  Bible : 

"But  thou,  Israel,  art  my  servant,  Jacob  whom 
I  have  chosen,  the  seed  of  Abraham  m,}^  friend. 
Thou  whom  I  have  taken  from  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
and  called  thee  from  the  chief  men  thereof,  and  said 
unto  thee,  Thou  art  my  servant ;  I  have  chosen  thee, 
and  not  cast  thee  away.  Fear  thou  not ;  for  I  am 
with  thee :  be  not  dismayed ;  for  I  am  thy  God :  I 
will  strengthen  thee;  yea,  I  will  help  thee;  yea,  I  will 
uphold  thee  with  the  right  hand  of  my  righteous- 
ness. .  .  .  For  I,  the  Lord  thy  God,  will  hold  thy 
right  hand,  saying  unto  thee,  Fear  not;  I  will  help 
thee.  Fear  not,  thou  worm  Jacob,  and  ye  men  of 
Israel;  I  will  help  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  and  thy  re- 
deemer, the  Holy  One  of  Israel  .  .  .  and  thou 
shalt  rejoice  in  the  Lord,  and  shalt  glorv  in  the  Holv 
One  of  Israel.''     (Isa.  41 :  8-10,  13,  14,  16.) 

AYhen  President  Harding  realizes  who  we 
are  then  that  better  brotherhood,  that  light  to  all 
peoples  which  we  w^ere  conunissioned  to  carry  will 
get  the  impulse  that  has  been  lacking  up  to  date 
in  America's  dealings  with  the  world  outside  her 
borders.

The  blindness  in  part  which  was  to  happen 
to  national  Israel  until  the  fullness  of  the  Gentiles 
came  in  is  now  lifted  and  President-elect  Hard- 
ing and  every  other  American  is  in  a  position  to 
say  as  Paul  did,  "I  also  am  an  Israelite,  of  the 
seed  of  Abraham,"  who  was  God's  friend.

CHAPTER  V. 

One  of  the  most  pathetic  statements  ever 
made  fell  from  the  lips  of  Nurse  Edith  Cavell 
under  sentence  of  death  in  a  German  prison.  She 
was  so  thankful  for  those  ten  weeks  she  was  in 
jail,  for  the  quiet,  and  the  time  to  think  and  rest. 
Life  had  been  so  hurried.  She  expressed  truly 
what  most  mortals  feel  as  we  gallop  with  rush 
and  bustle  through  this  hurried  life  of  striving 
and  strife.    And  all  for  what? 

The  following  repart  was  made  by  the 
British  chaplain,  H.  Sterling  Gohan,  to  Mr.  Brand 
Whitlock,  the  United  States  Ambassador  who 
served  America  and  the  w^hole  civilized  world  so 
well,  during  the  war  years  at  Brussels.  A  charm- 
ing man  with  the  most  winsome  of  manners,  he 
secured  many  favors  from  Germany,  due  to  his 
personalit5\  I  had  met  him  first  when  he  was 
giving  Toledo,  Ohio,  good  government  as  its 
mayor  and  again  after  the  Armistice  when  I  was 
welcomed  in  his  sanctum  at  Brussels;  and  I  suc- 
ceeded for  an  hour  in  chasing  some  of  the  brain 
fag  from  a  very,  very  tired  war-worn  American 
public  servant,  who  held  on  to  his  job  amidst  dis- 
couragements that  would  have  daunted  most 
people.

THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  91 

Report  of  Edith  Cavell's  Execution  by  Germany 

Made  to  United  States  Ambassador 

"On  Monday  evening,  the  lltli  of  October,  I  was 
admitted  by  special  passport  from  the  German  auth- 
orities, to  the  prison  of  St.  Giles  where  Miss  Edith 
Cavell  had  been  confined  for  ten  weeks.  The  final 
sentence  of  Death  had  been  given  that  afternoon. 

"To  my  astonishment  and  relief,  I  found  my 
friend  perfectly  calm  and  resigned,  but  this  could 
not  lessen  the  tenderness  and  intensity  of  feeling  on 
either  part  during  the  last  interview  of  almost  an 
hour, 

"Her  first  words  to  me  were  upon  a  matter  con- 
cerning herself  personally,  but  the  solemn  assevera- 
tion which  accompanied  them  was  made  expressly 
in  the  light  of  God  and  Eternity.  She  then  added 
that  she  wished  all  her  friends  to  know  that  she  wil- 
lingly gave  her  life  for  her  country,  and  said,  'I  have 
no  fear  nor  shrinking:  I  have  seen  Death  so  often 
that  it  is  not  strange  or  fearful  to  me.'  She  further 
said  7  thank  God  for  this  ten  weeks  quiet  he  fore  the 
end.  Life  has  always  been  so  hurried  and  full  of  dif- 
ficulty. This  time  of  rest  has  been  a  great  mercy. 
They  have  all  been  kind  to  me  here,  but  I  would  say, 
standing  in  the  view  of  God  and  Eternity,  I  realize 
that  Patriotism  is  not  enough.  ...  I  must  have  no 
hatred  towards  any  one.' 

"We  partook  of  the  Holy  Communion  together 
and  she  received  the  Gospel  message  of  consolation 
with  all  her  heart.  At  the  close  of  the  little  service 
I  began  to  repeat  the  words  'Abide  with  me"  and  she 
joined  softly  in  the  end.  We  sat  quietly  talking 
until  it  was  time  for  her  to  go.  She  gave  me  parting 
messages  for  relatives  and  friends.  She  spoke  of  her 
soul's  need  at  the  moment  and  she  received  the  assur- 
ance of  God's  words  as  only  a  Christian  can  do.  Then 
I  said  'Good-bye,'  and  she  smiled  and  said,  'We  shall 
meet  again !' 


92  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

''The  German  Military  Chaplain  was  with  her 
at  the  end  and  afterwards  gave  her  Christian  burial. 
He  told  me : 

'She  was  brave  and  bright  to  the  last.     She  pro- 
fessed  her  Christian  Faith  and  that  she  was  glad  to 
die  for  her  country.    She  died  like  a  hero.' 
H.  STERLING  GOHAN, 

British  Chaplain,  Brussels. 

Thus  died  a  quiet,  thoughtful,  unemotional 
English  heroine,  a  martyr  to  duty,  a  martyr  to 
Germany's  system  of  f  rightfulness.  Could 
Assyrian  Germany  ever  understand  our  Anglo- 
Saxon  breed,  they  never  would  have  shot  a  nurse, 
a  woman  who  had  nursed  their  0A\m  soldiers  as 
well  as  Belgians,  French  and  British.  Her  death 
caused  more  men  to  enlist  against  such  brutality 
all  over  Christendom,  than  any  single  appeal 
made  to  the  hearts  of  white  men. 

There  are  thousands  who  look  back  upon 
the  years  spent  in  those  semi-jails  in  France  and 
Belgium,  dugouts,  saps,  trenches,  and  billets,  with 
the  A.E.F.,  B.E.F.,  and  C.E.F.,  who,  like  Nurse 
Cavell,  were  most  thankful  for  the  chance  it  gave 
them  to  rest  and  get  their  thoughts  up  to  date. 

With  Death  looking  for  you  or  your  friends 
from  any  and  all  points  of  the  compass,  from 
above  and  below,  from  in  front  and  behind,  we 
still  had  thousands  of  opportunities,  more  than 
ever  came  to  us  in  our  business  at  home,  to  calmly 
think  and  wonder  over  the  riddle  of  this  universe. 
AVhat  was  the  meaning  of  this  stupendous  war 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  93 

with  its  millions  of  lives  passing  forward  to  their 
next  stopping  station;  with  the  awful  waste  of 
cities;  of  forests;  of  fertile  lands;  of  munitions; 
and  the  waste  of  those  splendid  fighting  men  who, 
at  the  call  of  the  wee  small  voice  within,  took 
upon  themselves  fighting  tasks  under  conditions 
such  as  men  never  before  in  the  history  of  the 
world  have  fought  and  held  and  won? 

I  remember  one  morning  going  into  a  Cana- 
dian casualty  clearing  station  at  Eemy  Siding, 
just  behind  Poperinghe,  to  see  why  a  Padre  had 
pinched  several  of  my  road  menders.  He  took 
me  around  behind  the  semi-permanent  hospital 
huts,  and  I  saw  a  dozen  huge  tents  with  their  sides 
all  rolled  up,  so  that  every  possible  breath  of  air 
could  reach  within.  There  lay  eight  hundred  gas- 
poisoned  soldiers,  who  had  come  in  during  the 
night;  the  regular  hospital  cots  being  full,  the 
large  tents  had  to  be  hastily  improvised  to  ac- 
conmiodate  them. 

The  battalion  had  been  up  doing  front-line 
work  at  night.  They  had  left  their  rifles,  great- 
coats, and  gas-masks  a  short  distance  in  the  rear 
when  the  Huns  sent  over  one  of  those  choice 
marks  of  his  Kultur,  poison  gas,  and  it  drenched 
the  whole  battalion  with  its  deadly  fumes.  As  I 
looked  upon  those  hundreds  of  stricken  men  on 
cots  and  stretchers  and  on  the  tent  floors,  so  many 
with  distorted  faces,  frothing  from  the  mouth, 
their  bodies  writhing,  their  faces  turning  green 


94  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  black,  gasping  for  tlieir  last  few  breaths  of 
life,  those  men,  who  a  few  hours  before  had  been 
pictures  of  health,  now  dying  before  our  eyes  like 
flies,  one  wondered  anew  what  was  God's  plan  in 
this  war!  When  would  it  end  and  how*?  Sher- 
man knew  that  war  was  hell;  but  this  war  de- 
veloped more  kinds  of  hell  than  Sherman  or  civil- 
ized people  could  possibly  have  conceived  of  until 
they  learned  to  what  lengths  German  Kultur 
could  go  in  infamy  while  endeavouring  to  shove 
their  mailed  fist  down  our  throats  and  so  prove 
that  might  is  right. 

The  Padre  had  taken  mj  road-menders  to 
dig  the  last  resting-place — a  long  open  trench  six 
feet  wdde — for  fifty-two  men  who  had  died  that 
morning,  as  he  only  had  men  sufficient  to  dig 
graves  for  their  average  death  rate  of  from  five 
to  ten  per  day. 

Since  1884  I  had  believed  that  that  inspired 
Book,  our  much  neglected  Bible,  contained  the  his- 
tory of  God's  chosen  people,  Israel;  that  they 
were  the  ''stone  kingdom"  of  Daniel's  vision; 
and  that  they  were  God's  battle-axe  and  shield 
and  His  weapons  of  war  to  subdue  the  Babylon 
nations  of  earth  opposed  to  His  rule.  Do  you  won- 
der that  during  the  war  I  became  interested  anew 
in  trying  to  study  the  divine  plan  for  the 
universe,  the  mystery  of  God? 

It  seems  strange,  but  it  is  true,  that  life 
at  the  Front  at  times  left  every  business  man 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  95 

there  more  leisure  to  think,  with  a  clear  mind, 
than  he  ever  before  possessed;  one  was  not 
bothered  about  payrolls,  profits,  rising  freight 
rates,  the  *'Red"  menace,  the  strikers'  miion, 
irate  shareholders,  or  the  thousand  and  one  daily 
and  hourly  disturbing  things  that  drift  into  one's 
office  at  home  in  a  l)ig  city.  He  just  did  his  job, 
whatever  it  was ;  thanked  Providence  if  he  had  a 
dry  billet,  behind  a  brick  wall  if  possible,  to  pro- 
tect him  from  flying  shrapnel  and  air  bombs; 
hoped  that  the  moonlight  schedule  would  be 
cloudy,  because  Fritz  always  sent  his  bombing 
planes  over  every  bright  night ;  kept  his  prayers 
said  fairly  well  up  to  date,  if  he  said  any ;  and  left 
the  rest  to  his  Maker  with  a  peace  in  his  soul 
that  passed  the  understanding  of  onr  friends  at 
home. 

Every  moonlight  night  at  the  Front,  dur- 
ing 1917  and  1918,  Fritz  made  a  point  of  air-raid- 
ing trips  over  our  back  as  well  as  front  areas,  un- 
til we  grew  to  hate  the  moon  as  the  devil  is  al- 
leged to  hate  holy  water.  On  occasions  they  made 
as  many  as  six  raids  throughout  the  night  and  it 
took  strong  nerves  and  a  tired  body  to  sleep 
through  them  and  get  a  night's  rest  for  next 
day's  work. 

Often  when  walking  home  to  my  billot  on 
those  beautiful  moonlight  nights,  as  I  looked  up 
to  the  heavens  and  saw  those  ten  thousand  stars, 
each  star  a  world,  I  wondered  how  it  was  possible 


96  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

for  any  man  who  could  run  a  business  or  a  section 
of  one  to  think  that  those  wonderful  worlds  ran 
on  schedule  without  a  plan  and  without  a  creator. 
Such  a  man  certainly  had  more  faith  than  I  pos- 
sessed to  think  that  such  a  thing  were  possible  or 
that  this  one  world  of  God's  big  universe  "just 
grew"  like  Topsy  and  ran  itself  without  a  Creator 
or  without  His  laws  and  guidance.  How  long 
would  your  little  business  run  without  an  execu- 
tive head  or  without  rules  and  plans  for  carrying 
on  laid  down  by  its  head?  Then  what  about  the 
universe? 

I  thought  then  and  many  times  since  that 
if  our  business  men  could  only  get  that  peace  of 
mind,  that  repose  of  soul  that  M^e  enjoyed  at  the 
Front,  they  would  be  able  to  see  things  in  their 
proper  perspective;  and  that  if  they  had  God's 
plan  for  our  national  guidance  in  their  think 
boxes,  they  would  not  need  to  worry  much  over 
the  ''Reds"  or  the  dozens  of  other  ills  that  will 
afSict  the  whole  world  during  the  next  fifteen 
years — years  that  will  try  the  souls  of  the  stout- 
est men  of  this  American  Continent,  because  it  is 
plainly  foretold  that  the  world  is  to  go  through 
such  a  time  of  trouble  as  never  was  on  earth  be- 
fore, of  which  the  late  war  was  but  a  preliminary. 

At  present  every  business  man  knows  this 
old  world  is  almost  upside  down  and  turned  in- 
side out,  and  millions  wonder  what  will  happen 
next  and  how  order  can  ever  be  restored  from  the 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  97 

present  (1920)  chaotic  condition  all  over  the 
world.  On  this  continent,  less  than  on  any  other, 
it  is  true  at  present,  but  even  here  there  is  seeth- 
ing unrest  ready  to  explode  in  spots. 

AVe  are  in  the  habit  of  looking  upon  many 
of  our  big  captains  of  industry  with  considerable 
awe,  men  who  succeed  in  planning  and  working 
huge  plants  for  production  outputs  at  the  lowest 
unit  costs,  etc.  We  think  they  are  ''some  men" 
and  we,  so  to  speak,  take  off  our  hats  to  our 
Schwabs,  Fords,  Hoovers,  Morgans,  and  the  rest 
of  them  (I  understand  there  are  some  who  do  not 
take  off  their  hats  to  the  men  who  scrambled  your 
railroads  for  several  years, — but  let  that  go.) 

Well,  I'll  bet  not  one  in  a  thousand  knows 

that  there  is  a  plan,  a  business  plan,  foretold  and 
laid  down  thousands  of  years  ago  and  that  we 
are  working  to  that  divine  plan  and  schedule  in 
our  wars,  our  smashing  of  nations,  our  pulling 
dow^n  of  kings  and  dynasties  and  strange  as  it 
may  seem,  we  are  working  on  time  even  to  the 
year  and  to  the  month  and  the  day  according  to 
these  prophecies  foretold  thousands  of  years  ago. 
Sounds  a  bit  fishy  doesn't  it!  But,  as  we  ob- 
served before,  truth  is  stranger  than  fiction,  and 
this  is  truth. 

About  eight  years  ago,  returing  from  a 
Mediterranean  trip,  sitting  next  to  a  chunky  little 
Johnnie  Bull  Englishman  on  board  ship  we  had 


98  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

many  talks  about  gardening,  yachting,  etc.  One 
evening  after  three  days  at  sea,  I  told  him  about 
the  English  being  the  Ephraim  tribe  of  Israel 
and  was  a  bit  surprised  to  note  that  he  was  not 
properly  shocked.  "We  discussed  it  pro  and  con 
and  finally  turning  to  me,  he  said,  "You  know, 
my  old  parson  (Avho  is  a  long-haired  chap)  has 
been  giving  me  that  dope  for  the  last  fifteen 
years,  but  I  never  before  heard  of  a  short-haired 
intelligent  business  man  who  had  any  faith  or 
took  any  stock  in  it!" 

We  adjourned  to  the  smoking  room  and 
over  a  hot  toddy,  or  was  it  two? — he  made  me  a 
life  member  or  vice-admiral  or  something  or  other 
in  the  British  Navy  League  at  20  quid  a  throw. 
Being  Scotch  I  remember  that  part  of  it  as  I  had 
to  mail  him  a  cheque  when  I  got  home.  I  also 
remember  that  I  tried  to  head  him  off  promising, 
that  if  he  would  join  Mrs.  Pankhurst's  Suffrage 
League,  which  at  that  time  was  fairly  busy  heav- 
ing half  bricks  at  Members  of  Parliament  and 
otherwise  making  their  lives  a  bit  uncertain,  that 
I  would  join  his  Na\^^  League  in  any  capacity  for 
which  my  age,  big  feet  and  fondness  for  water 
would  qualify  me.     Not  carried! 

Having  tried  this  Anglo-Saxon-Israel 
Identity  on  numerous  friends  and  acquaintances, 
I  have  noted  with  real  enjoyment  the  quick  search- 
ing glance  they  all  give  j^ou  to  see  if  you  have 
been  drinking, — and  in  these  arid  days!     Then 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  99 

you  see  that  far-away  look  steal  into  their  eyes, 
denoting  that  you  have  them  off  their  feet  and  in 
deep  water  and  they  are  afraid  you'll  ask  them 
some  question  that  will  show  that  the  Bible  and 
they  are  strangers.  Not  that  I  blame  them,  be- 
cause, without  the  proper  key,  the  Bible  is  about 
as  interesting  to  a  business  man  as  an  Algebra  is 
to  a  ten-year-old  school  boy. 

Israel  is  the  Hebrew  for  "ruling  with  God" 
and  is  mentioned  in  despatches  in  the  Bible  some 
2543  times,  and  over  two-thirds  of  the  Old  and 
New  Testament  are  written  about  Israel.  With- 
out the  key  and  history  showing  who  and  Avhere 
the  nation  Israel  is,  a  fine  healthy  chance  any 
ordinary  man  has  to  understand  where  the 
prophets  are  heading  him ;  and  yet  that  is  where 
our  churches  and  parsons  leave  us.  The  church  is 
not  mentioned  that  I  have  seen  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment and  only  110  times  in  the  New;  so  the  par- 
sons Avho  would  appropriate  to  the  church  the 
promises  made  to  the  nation  Israel  by  the  Creator 
would,  except  for  this  ignorance,  seem  to  me  to 
qualify  under  Revelation  22:18,  19.  Most  min- 
isters I've  talked  it  over  with  know  as  much  about 
Israel  as  a  cat  knows  about  his  grandfather !  They 
can  give  you  several  conjectures  as  to  Israel  being 
Jews,  but  unfortunately  they  are  surmises  only. 
They  have  guessed  wrong,  with  the  result  that 
the  living  Word  of  God  is  as  dead  as  a  doornail 
to  the  average  business  man,   the  man   who  is 


100  THE  DESTINY  OP  AMERICA 

accustomed  to  attend  church  regularly;  but  the 
blind  leaders  of  the  blind  have  him  where  he 
thinks  he  cannot  use  his  everyday  methods  of  ap- 
plying his  gray  matter  to  the  subject  and  reason 
his  way  out  or  see  his  way  out,  and  the  fewness 
of  these  business  men  in  the  churches  all  over 
the  land  is  the  proof  of  this  wrong  reading  and 
teaching  of  God's  Word  to  His  People,  Israel,  by 
these  blind  shepherds.  If  my  parson  friends 
think  this  language  too  strong  may  I  plead  in  ex- 
tenuation that  I'm  only  reiterating  a  small  part 
of  what  the  Bible  calls  them.  I  venture  to  think 
that  they  would  pass  a  sleepless  night  if  they  will 
study  what  is  promised  for  their  neglect  to  find 
the  flock  of  his  pasture  by  the  various  prophets. 

In  the  34th  chapter  of  Ezekiel  there  is  a 
solemn  indictment  of  the  shepherds  of  Israel  (and 
I  figure  that  these  pastors  of  ours  are  the  shep- 
herds referred  to)  who  have  not  sought  for  the  lost 
sheep,  but  who  have  trod  down  the  pastures  and 
fouled  the  water  provided  for  God's  flock  by  their 
clouded  reasoning  and  higher  criticism.  Eead  in 
the  31st  verse  who  the  flock  are:  *'And  ye,  my 
flock,  the  flock  of  my  pasture,  are  men  and  I  am 
your  God,  saith  the  Lord  God." 

Who  is  so  blind  as  Israel  to-day — the 
Anglo-Saxon  Celts'?  Wlien  Americans  realize 
their  identity  and  their  inheritance,  there  will 
sure  be  some  rattling  of  dry  bones  in  their  section 
of  Israel  or  I  miss  my  guess.

Man  is  naturally  a  religious  animal  and 
given  religious  propositions  that  he  can  see  or 
reason  out  and  put  together  in  a  reasonable  way, 
he  responds  quickly.  I  know  it,  because  I've 
*' tried  it  on  the  dog,"  so  to  speak,  with  many  of 
my  business  associates  and  friends.  True  you  will 
meet  an  occasional  friend  who  seems  to  think  he 
knows  more  about  the  Bible  than  the  Creator,  and 
when  you  express  a  belief  in  the  Bible  as  a  true 
history,  he  will  trot  out  some  threadbare  old 
question  like  ' '  Do  you  believe  the  whale  swallowed 
Jonah?"  I  never  had  any  difficulty  in  believing 
that  a  Creator  who  could  raise  the  dead,  feed  the 
children  of  Israel  in  the  wilderness,  and  run  this 
universe,  could  preserve  Jonah  in  a  live  whale. 
The  trouble  is  many  men  wish  to  size  up  the 
Creator  as  beieng  in  about  their  category  as  far 
as  achievement  is  concerned ! 

I  believe  in  the  divine  inspiration  of  Old 
and  New  Testaments  and  furthermore  that  days 
and  dates  set  down  therein  have  been  proved  to 
be  correct,  as  checked  by  astronomical  time.  I 
have  before  me  ten  charts  of  chronology  without 
a  broken  link  from  Adam  to  Christ.  The  author, 
Daniel  Parker,  of  Lightcliffe,  Halifax,  England, 
spent  fifteen  years  searching  the  Scriptures  and 
other  histories  and  says  *'In  my  life's  history  of 
researches  I  have  found  no  history  equal  the 
splendid  Chronological  History  [His-Story, — 
God's  story]  of  the  Bible,  all  of  which  is  in  accord 


102  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

with  astronomical  time  and  the  literal  fulfilment  of 
God's  covenants  to  His  People,  Israel."  I  have 
used  Mr.  Parker's  work  for  the  dates  herein. 

Now  keep  it  fixed  in  your  head  that  you, 
Brother  Jonathan,  are  just  as  much  a  part  of 
God's  Israel  as  is  Brother  John  Bull  &  Co.,  and 
that  Brother  Jonathan  is  the  eldest  son  of  Joseph 
and  that  Jacob  passed  to  both  these  lads,  Ephraim 
(England)  and  Manasseh  (U.  S.  A.)  the  wonder- 
ful Joseph's  blessings. 

Read  Moses'  speech  to  Israel,  Deuteronomy 
33:4:  "Moses  commanded  us  a  law."  AVhat  sort 
of  a  law!  "Even  the  inheritance  of  the  congre- 
gation of  Jacob."  Who  were  the  congregation  of 
Jacob?  They  were  Jacob's  seed,  Israel,  who  were 
gathered  or  congregated  there,  thus  named  after 
Jacob  had  wrestled  with  the  angel  and  had  so 
become  a  Prince  of  God  or  "ruling  with  God"  as 
Young's  Concordance  has  it,  which  is  the  meaning 
of  his  new  name,  Israel-^  "What  was  the  in- 
heritance that  was  to  be  a  law  for  them?  The 
American  and  British  portion,  Moses'  blessing  of 
Joseph,  is  found  in  Deuteronomy  33 :13-17.  This 
included  many  blessings  which  we  may  enumer- 
ate as  follows : 

'Blessed  of  the  Lord  be  his  land 
For  the  precious  things  of  heaven 
For  the  dew  and 
For  the  deep  that  coucheth  beneath 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  103 

And  for  the  precious  fruits  brought  forth  by 

the  sun 
And  for  the  precious  things  put  forth  by  the 

moon 
And    for    the    chief    things    of    the    ancient 

mountains 
And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  lasting  hills 
And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  earth  and 

fulness  thereof 
And  for  the  good  will  of  him  that  dwelt  in  the 

bush. ' 

The  record  continues : 

"Let  the  blessings  come  upon  the  head  of  Joseph, 
and  upo7i  the  top  of  the  head  of  him  that  was  separ- 
ated from  his  hrethren.  His  glory  is  like  the  firstling 
of  his  bullock,  and  his  horns  are  like  the  horns  of 
unicorns :  with  them  he  shall  push  the  people  to- 
gether to  the  ends  of  the  earth:  and  they  are  the  ten 
thousands  of  Ephriam,  and  they  are  the  thousands 
of  Manasseh." 

You  know  how  John  Bull  got  his  name 
when  he  marclied  with  Moses  under  the  bull  or 
Engle  flag  and  then  bequeathed  it  to  his  country, 
Engle-land.  You  will  have  noticed  his  coat  of 
arms :  a  lion  and  a  unicorn,  rampant,  standing  on 
a  scroll,  on  which  are  the  words  ''Dieu  et  mon 
droit" — God  and  my  right.  What  right?  My 
birthright — see  I  Chronicles  5:2:  ''But  the  birth- 
right was  Joseph's."  The  lion  and  unicorn  are 
supporting  a  shield  and  on  this  shield  are  the 


104  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

words,  "Honi  soil  qui  mal  y  pense" — shamed  be 
he  who  thinks  evil  of  it. 

"Israel  ["ruling  with  God"]  then  shall 
dwell  in  safety  alone" — as  they  have  in  the  Brit- 
ish Isles.  ' '  The  foundation  of  Jacob  shall  be  upon 
a  land  of  corn  and  wine;  also  his  heavens  shall 
drop  down  dew."  The  lands  and  gardens  of 
Britain,  are  lands  of  corn  and  wine,  and  has  the 
dew  that  keeps  its  pastures  as  none  other  in  the 
world  that  I  have  ever  seen. 

"Happy  art  thou,  Oh  Israel:  who  is  like  unto 
thee,  0  people  saved  by  the  Lord,  the  shield  of  thy 
help,  and  who  is  the  sword  of  thy  excellency !  and 
thine  enemies  shall  be  found  liars  unto  thee ;  and 
thou  shalt  tread  upon  their  high  places"  (vs.  29) — 
and  we  have ! 

Ferrar  Fenton's  translation  into  modern 
English  from  the  original  Hebrew  for  verses  28 
and  29  reads: 

"Israel  dwells  alone,  and  secure, 

Jacob's  spring  in  a  land  of  the  corn  and  fruit. 

And  his  skies  will  drop  down  dew ! 

Blest  Israel !  who  is  like  you  ? 

A  Victor  Race  for  Jehovah, — 

Your  shield,  your  help,  and  your  sword ! 

You  shall  grow,  and  subdue  your  foes, 

And  advance  on  their  hills  like  a  road." 

The  British  fill  every  item  of  the  above 
specifications  and  Americans  were  and  still  are 
Brith-ish  i.e.,  Covenant  men,  as  I  will  prove  later. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  105 

We  Anglo-Saxons  have  been  a  victor  race,  and 
Jehovah  has  been  our  help,  our  shield,  and  our 
sword;  Israel  have  always  subdued  their  foes. 
Our  enemies,  both  open  and  secret,  have  been 
found  liars  whose  words  were  full  of  deceit  and 
w^hose  written  engagements  have  been  scraps  of 
paper ;  and  this  applies  to  more  than  Germany. 

You  will  note  in  verse  17  that  the  work  of 
Joseph's  descendants  w^as  to  push  the  people 
together,  not  apart,  to  the  ends  of  the  earth,  and 
both  Britain  and  the  United  States  have  been  on 
that  job  for  hundreds  of  years.  They  have  both 
worked  for  the  unity  of  peoples.  Take  India 
where  there  are  sixteen  nations  or  sections  and  all 
religions ;  we  are  keeping  the  peace  there  and  have 
tried  to  bring  peace,  law,  order  and  justice  to  all 
nations  they  came  in  touch  with  or  who  were 
under  their  influence,  the  w^orld  over. 

Manasseh  (U.S.A.)  means  forgetfulness 
and  it  would  seem  as  if  America  had  forgotten 
the  inheritance  promised  them  which  was  to  be  a 
law  to  them  and  their  Brother  John  for  ever, 
though  they  have  provided  the  melting  pot  for  all 
nations,  languages  and  religions  in  their  little  red 
school  house  where  one  language  for  all  is  taught 
and  that  is  the  language  of  the  Covenant  people.

in  Israel,  said  *'God  has  given  America

these  were  promised  by  Moses  to  Joseph's 
seed. 

7.  Charles    M.    Schwab,    a   modern   leader    in 

Israel  (American  section)  said,  God  has 
given  America  just  the  blessings  Moses 
promised  to  Israel.

London  awaiting  your  Ambassador's 
inspection. 

18.  The  Prince  of  Wales  is  Prince  of  the  House

achy drink. 


CHAPTER  VI. 

Now,  if  you  believe  in  the  inspiration  of 
our  Bible,  you  will  understand  from  Moses' 
speech  in  the  previous  chapter  that  somewhere 
on  this  round  earth  are  a  people  who  have  the 
choicest  inheritance  ever  bequeathed  to  men,  and 
further,  there  was  no  time  limit  mentioned  when 
this  unlimited  inheritance  would  not  be  in  force. 

Every  prophecy  in  the  Bible  inspired  by 
God  has  come  to  pass,  or  it  must  and  will,  in  its 
proper  and  ordained  time.  Moses'  correct 
estimate  of  the  character  of  Joseph  and  his 
knowledge  of  divine  law  enabled  him  to  foresee 
the  great  prosperity  which  was  bound  to  come  to 
the  children  of  Joseph,  and  he  knew  that  his  words 
were  to  be  fulfilled  in  the  same  way  that  Jesus 
knew,  when  he  said,  "Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass 
away,  but  my  words  shall  not  pass  away."  Christ 
came  not  to  do  away  with  the  law  but  to  fulfil  the 
law  and  the  prophets. 

If  you  were  asked  to-day,  "Where  are  the 
nations  who  have  the  choicest  blessings  ever 
vouchsafed  to  mankind  and  what  nations  have  car- 
ried God's  blessing  of  peace  as  laid  down  by 
Moses?"  who  would  you  say  had  them?    Would 

108 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  109 

you  say  that  our  splendid  ally,  France,  had  in- 
herited them  when  she  has  been  overrun  time  after 
time  throughout  the  ages? — as  when  she  had  her 
Reign  of  Terror  and  when  she  was  bled  white  by 
Napoleon,  etc.,  etc.  ?  Would  you  say  it  was  Russia 
that  enjoyed  all  the  good  things  of  this  earth 
while  she  was  ground  under  by  the  Czars  for 
centuries  and  to-day  groans  under  a  more  dia- 
bolical regime  than  ever  before  afflicted  her  peo- 
ple? Is  it  Poland,  dismembered  for  centuries! 
Is  it  Austria-Hungry,  the  ramshackle  empire  now 
reaping  the  fruits  of  her  years  of  subservience  to 
Germany  ?  Is  it  Italy,  overrun  by  invaders  century 
after  century?  Is  it  Spain,  Bulgaria,  Servia, 
Greece,  Turkey  or  Iceland?  Is  it  Africa  or  China 
that  fill  these  specifications  by  having  God's 
choicest  gifts  bestowed  upon  them  as  nations? 
Any  intelligent  man  can  verify  prophecies  of  tht 
Bible  by  histories  written  hundreds  and  thous- 
ands of  years  since  these  promises  were  made  by 
Moses,  and  can  see  that,  of  all  the  citizens  of  this 
round  earth,  to  one  people  and  only  one  do  these 
blessings  of  Jehovah  apply, — namely,  to  the 
Anglo-Saxon  commonwealths  or  nations  of  which 
the  United  States  of  America  is  such  a  largo 
factor. 

If  any  of  your  great-grandfathers  had  be- 
queathed you  the  w^ealth  of  a  small  portion  of  tLe 
everlasting  hills  now  controlled  by,  say,  the  Gug- 
genheimers,  you  would,  I  imagine,  be  scratching 


no  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

gravel  until  you  could  establish  your  descent  from 
the  aforementioned  great-grandfather.  Well,  the 
Guggenheimers  have  not  the  billionth  part  of 
America's  national  estate  bequeathed  to  the  eldest 
son  of  Joseph  and  his  heirs  as  depicted  in  the 
33rd  chapter  of  Deuteronomy.  You  were  to  have 
an  im.mense  assortment  of  wealth :  your  land  was 
to  be  blessed  in  everj^way  and  you  do  not  have  to 
die  to  obtain  it;  you  get  it  right  on  earth,  as  it  is 
the  visible  tangible  wealth  that  your  banks  lend 
money  upon.  Surely  America  has  in  her  portion 
the  wealth  of  the  dew  and  rain ;  the  wealth  of  the 
precious  fruits  brought  forth  by  the  sun  and  the 
moon;  the  wealth  of  fertile  fields  and  valleys;  the 
wealth  of  coal  fields,  oil  fields,  copper,  silver,  gold 
and  the  blessings  of  peaceful  work. 

As  a  parcel  is  tied  with  a  cord,  so  are  the 
tribes  of  Israel.  Jacob  is  the  cord  that  ties  to- 
gether God's  inheritance,  according  to  Deuter- 
onomy 32:9:  ''For  the  Lord's  portion  is  his  peo- 
ple; Jacob  is  the  lot  (marg.  "cord")  of  his  in- 
heritance." 

When  Germany  and  her  partners  in  sin, 
seen  and  unseen,  "the  house  of  the  evildoers"  that 
"work  iniquity,"  set  out  to  break  the  cord  of 
understanding  and  goodwill  that  binds  all  Anglo- 
Saxondom  together,  what  was  tlie  result?  Just 
what  the  Psalmist  said  (Ps.  2:2-4): 

2.  'The  kings  of  the  earth  set  themselves,  and 
the  rulers  take  counsel  together   [Germany,  Austria, 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  111 

Turkey],  against  the  Lord,  and  against  his  anointed 
[Israel],  saying, 

3.  "Let  us  break  their  bands  asunder,  and  east 
away  their  cords  from  us. 

4.  "He  that  sitteth  in  the  heavens  shall  laugh: 
the  Lord  shall  have  them  in  derision." 

Were  they  held  in  derision  by  the  Creator  ? 
It  certainly  looks  like  it.  Germany  lost  all  those 
waste  places  of  the  earth  that  she  had  spent  years 
and  billions  of  marks  in  building  np,  besides  losing 
Alsace  and  Loraine,  etc.,  etc.  Her  co-partner,  the 
ramshackle  empire,  is  dismembered  and  dying. 
Turkey  has  lost  about  everything  she  held  dear, 
IMecca,  Jerusalem  and  Constantinople. 

Did  they  break  the  bands  of  the  Lord's 
anointed  (Israel)  I  AVell,  not  that  you  would 
notice !  Ask  of  that  young  Prince  of  Israel,  David, 
Edward,  Prince  of  Wales,  if  the  bands  of  the  Em- 
pire were  broken  asunder  by  the  assaults  of  the 
** evildoers"  who  'Svork  iniquity."  Rather  has 
the  M^ar  brought  to  the  attention  of  all  who  speak 
the  English  tongue  the  fact  that  if  the  world  is  to 
be  saved  from  anarchy,  they,  with  God 's  help,  are 
the  only  peoples  who  can  accomplish  such  a 
stupendous  task. 

I  am  Avilling  to  stake  my  reputation  as  a 
business  man  on  IMoses'  blessing  pronounced 
upon  Joseph's  descendants,  the  American  and 
British  sections  of  Israel. 

If  we  find  that  the  Bible  promises  of  over 
three    thousand   years    ago   about    the    material 


112  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

things  we  were  to  receive  on  this  earth  have  been 
fulfilled,  then  one  may  fairly  deduce  that  those 
spiritual  promises  not  yet  fulfilled  on  this  earth 
and  to  he  fulfilled  hereafter  must  certainly  come 
true.  Is  that  not  a  reasonable  deduction?  Do 
these  fulfillments  not  prove  that  the  Bible  is  the 
inspired  hooh  it  professes  to  he? — because  three 
thousand  years  is  a  long  stretch  to  look  ahead  and 
forecast  a  great  people's  material  prosperity. 
Leastwise  it  seems  so  to  my  way  of  thinking. 

Note  that  Israel  was  to  be  set  on  high  above 
all  the  nations  of  the  earth. 

"And  Moses  and  the  priests  the  Levites  spake 
unto  all  Israel,  saying,  Take  heed,  and  hearken,  O 
Israel ;  this  day  thou  art  become  the  people  of  the 
Lord  thy  God.  .  .  .  The  Lord  thy  God  will  set 
thee  [Israel]  on  high  above  all  nations  of  the  earth." 
(Dent.  27:9;  28:1.) 

T]ns  you  see  was  not  a  church  set  on  high, 
but  was  a  nation  to  be  set  above  all  other  nations. 
Where,  I  ask,  is  that  nation  to-day  that  is  set  on 
high  above  all  others?  Has  the  promise  failed? 
Just  read  through  the  promises  made  to  all  Israel 
in  the  foregoing  two  chapters  and  the  punish- 
ments they  were  to  receive  for  not  obejdng  His 
commandments.  They  have  indeed  come  true  as 
the  ages  have  rolled  round. 

See  Deuteronomy  30:1-3;  and  it  won't  hurt 
you,  even  unaccustomed  as  you  may  be  to  Bible 
reading,  to  road  right  through  to  Chapter  33:13,

where  Moses  prophesied  the  benefits  coming  to  the 
descendants  of  your  forefather  and  first  food  con- 
troller, Joseph,  to  you  who  are  his  seed. 

Has  America  received  the  blessings  of  the 
Lord  and  the  '^ precious  things  of  heaven"?  They 
have  received  God 's  laws  and  ordered  liberty  with 
the  largest  measure  of  peace  of  any  nation  and 
have  been  blessed  from  their  earliest  beginning — 
I  can  hear  you  murmur,  ''Yes,  they  have,"  even 
at  this  distance. 

Has  America  received  the  blessings  of  the 
*'dew"  and  the  ''deep  that  coucheth  beneath  [the 
springs  and  water  tables  below]"?  No  country 
has  been  more  blessed  with  the  dew,  the  rain  and 
the  deep  that  coucheth  beneath.-  An  American 
famine  for  lack  of  these  things  has  been  unkno^^^l 
in  your  history  while  other  nations  have  not  been 
so  blessed. 

Has  America  been  blessed  "for  the  preci- 
ous fruits  brought  forth  b}^  the  sun,  and  for  the 
precious  things  put  forth  by  the  moon"?  Why 
certainly  they  have.  Y^ou  are  shipping  your  sur- 
plus bananas,  Oregon  apples,  California  prunes, 
olives,  and  raisins,  Florida  and  California  oranges 
and  lemons  all  over  the  earth,  and  your  Maine 
potato  crops  are  kno^Mi  the  continent  over,  while 
your  corn  is  the  wonder  of  the  world,  not  to  men- 
tion your  wheat,  oats,  rye,  etc. 

And  "for  the  chief  things  of  the  ancient 
mountains,  and  for  the  precious   things  of  the 


114  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

lasting  hills ' '  1  Well  you  have  them !  A  glance  at 
the  maps  opp.  pp.  114-115  shows  where  we  get  off 
on  oil  in  the  coming  fuel  age,  and  for  an  essential 
like  coal,  a  glance  at  the  map  shows  that  Brother 
John  and  Brother  Jonathan  have  the  lion's  share. 
Take  nickle;  I  am  told  that  95  per  cent,  of  the 
world's  supply  comes  from  Canada  to  New  York. 
Take  copper;  America  absolutely  produces  and 
controls  the  world  output.  Take  zinc ;  take  almost 
anything;  and  it  is  the  same  story.  Take  a  key 
essential  like  steel.  "The  United  States  Steel 
Corporation  alone  Avith  a  capital  of  $575,000,000 
makes  more  steel  than  all  Europe  and  they  are 
only  one  of  the  many  steel  companies  doing  busi- 
ness in  America"* — given  to  Joseph's  seed  for 
an  inheritance. 

Never  having  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting 
that  master  mind  of  the  world  on  steel  production, 
Charles  M.  Schwab,  I  am  unable  to  sa}^  whether  he 
is  a  student  of  Bible  prophecy  or  not,  but  I  should 
judge  the  chances  rather  favor  the  "not,"  there- 
fore he  probably  may  not  know  tliat  Joseph's 
offspring  were  promised  the  wealth  of  the  ancient 
hills  and  mountains.  However,  on  January  5th, 
1921,  at  the  Copley  Plaza  in  Boston,  Mr.  Schwab 
before  the  Massachusetts  Bankers'  Association

everything  to  make  it  and  keep  it  the  foremost 
Industrial  and  Commercial  Nation  of  the  ivorld," 

Charles  M.  Schwab  says  that  America 
has  everything  necessary  to  keep  it  in  front  of 
the  whole  world,  and  that  it  was  endowed  by  God 
with  it;  and  that  is  exactly  what  Moses  proph- 
esied for  the  house  of  Joseph.  Gentlemrn,  J 
rest  my  case  there.  If  you  know  of  any  better 
authority  on  prophecy  than  the  Bible  or  any  better 
authority  than  Charles  M.  Schwab  on  prosperity 
or  on  the  material  possessions  of  America,  just 
trot  them  out. 

Abraham  Lincoln  at  twenty-six  years  of 
age  sensed  God's  goodness  to  His  servant  Israel 
in  America.  '^He  was  firm  in  the  belief  that  God 
was  at  the  helm,  and  that  man  was  but  the  lium])le 
though  co-operating  agent  through  whom  the  Al- 
mighty was  working  out  the  destiny  of  man- 
kind.''* 

In  a  speech  before  the  Young  Mens' 
Lyceum  of  Springfield,  Illinois,  at  about  that  age, 
he  said:  "We  find  ourselves  in  the  peaceful  pos- 
session of  [1]  the  fairest  portion  of  the  earth, 
[2]  as  regards  fertility  of  soil,  [3]  extent  of  ter- 
ritory, and  [4]  salubrity  of  climate.  .  .  .  We  .... 
find  ourselves  the  legal  inheritors  of  these  funda- 
mental blessings.  We  toiled  not  in  the  acquire- 
ment or  the  establishment  of  them."* 

*  Abraham  Lincoln  Man  of  God,  hy  John  Wesley  liill. 


116  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

*'As  Lincoln  journeyed  from  Illinois  across 
the  country,"  Mr.  Hill  writes,  "he  declared  all 
along  the  route  that  he  was  going  forth  in  the 
name  of  the  Living  God  of  Israel."* 

Well,  reader,  the  point  here  is  that  if 
Lincoln  knew  that  he  was  going  forth  ''in  the 
name  of  the  Living  God  of  Israel"  and  he  could 
recognize  the  source  of  America's  blessings,  there 
is  no  reason  why  you  need  be  ashamed  to  see  it  and 
to  acknowledge  it. 

America  has  in  full  measure  the  very 
things  promised  to  Ephraim  and  Manasseh, — 
brothers  in  1713  B.C.  as  they  are  to-day, — Brother 
John  and  Brother  Jonathan. 

It  is  noted  that  the  sphere  sketch  does  not 
show  any  oil  in  Abyssinia,  formerly  called 
Ethiopia  in  Bible  times.  I  had  a  commander  of 
the  Koyal  Navy  at  my  home  recently  and  was 
telling  him  how  it  was  Britain's  and  America's 
job  to  settle  the  waste  places  of  the  earth  and  they 
would  receive  payment  therefore  by  gettting  the 
wealth  of  the  everlasting  hills  and  of  the  deep 
below  the  earth. 

He  was  a  Scot,  a  canny  Scot,  a  man  of  few 
words.  I  had  been  telling  him  that  Abyssinia 
would  be  against  us  in  the  great  battle  of  Arma- 
geddon, though  I  had  noticed  in  September,  1919, 
I  think  it  was,  that  the  British  had  given  the  Mad 

*  Abraham  Lincoln  Man  of  God,  by  John  "Wesley  Hill. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  117 

Mullah  a  bad  licking  with  aeroplane  and  machine 
guns. 

"Man,"  says  he,  "we  have  been  policing  it 
and  pouring  in  millions  of  money  there  year  after 
year  and  I  often  wondered  why  we  did  it,  as  the 
bally  place  was  no  use  to  us." 

Well,  sir,  as  a  result  of  the  last  licking  we 
gave  the  Mad  Mullah,  we  have  found  more  oil 
in  Abyssinia  than  there  is  in  all  Persia.  So,  again 
Mother  Britain  is  repaid  for  policing  and  main- 
taining order,  law  and  justice  in  these  waste 
places  of  the  earth  that  were  to  be  your  in- 
heritance as  well  as  hers. 

"Ask  of  me,  and  I  shall  give  thee  [Israel]  the 
heathen  for  thine  inheritance,  and  the  uttermost  parts 
of  the  earth  for  thy  possession."     (Ps.  2:8.) 

Both  Britain  and  America  have  made  good 
the  prophet's  words  and  promises.  Strange,  but 
this  new  find  is  just  where  Britain  will  need  it  for 
going  into  the  Suez  Canal  from  the  South,  also 
the  American  Navy  and  Merchant  Marine,  which 
by  that  time  will  perhaps  all  be  equipped  with  oil- 
burning  apparatus. 

I  notice  in  this  morning's  paper,  December 
28,  1920,  that  your  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  Mr. 
Josephus  Daniels,  has  a  belief  that  your  govern- 
ment should  prohibit  the  use  of  all  fuel  oil  save 
for  ships,  and  he  proposes  a  brand  new  policy  for 
the  United  States. 


118  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

''I  am  in  favor  of  the  nationalization  of 
coal,  oil  and  water-power  wealth  of  the  nation. 
The  statesmanship  of  our  day  should  redeem  the 
folly  of  earlier  days,"  he  says,  ''when  these  prime 
necessities  were  left  unregulated  to  our  lasting 
injury."  What  a  pity  our  politicians,  as  well  as 
yours,  chuck  out  stuff  like  this  tulien  leaving  office 
instead  of  bringing  it  about  while  they  are  in 
office !  It  would  have  been  a  feather  in  Mr.  Daniel's 
cap  if,  when  war  was  declared,  he  had  taken  the 
Standard  Oil  and  the  other  oil  refiners  by  the 
scruff  of  the  neck  and  the  seat  of  their  pants  and 
said,  "NoAv,  you  chaps  must  work  for  Uncle  Sam 
for  a  dollar  ten  per  day,  just  like  our  fighting  men 
at  the  Front.  AYe  will  take  your  output  at 
cost  plus  10  per  cent. ' '  America  then  would  have 
saved  enough  to  help  pay  her  share  of  the  war,  in- 
stead of  bulging  out  the  already  overfilled  pock- 
ets of  the  oil  magnates.  President  Harding  has 
served  notice  that  conscription  will  be  for  all  in 
America's  next  big  war,  plants  as  well  as  men 
and  he  does  well. 

I  had  not  noticed  that  Secretary  Daniels 
was  particularly  keen  along  these  lines  during 
his  turn  at  the  wheel,  but  then  I  was  very  busy  at 
the  Front  and  may  have  overlooked  some  things. 
I  don't  suppose  it  would  be  any  use  for  an  ordin- 
ary dock-wholloper  like  myself  to  tender  an  old 
sea-dog,  like  Mr.  Daniels,  any  advice  on  fuel  for 
ships.    But  I  would  like  to  say  to  the  Secretary, 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  119 

''Mr.  Daniels,  if  I  were  you,  I  wouldn't  get  all 
het  up  worrying  over  the  fuel  supply  for  your 
big  navy.  It's  just  possible  that  the  Creator 
fixed  it  all  up  for  America  when  this  world  was 
put  on  its  turning  points  and  that  he  saw  to  it 
that  your  cellars  had  a  good  stock  of  coal,  oil, 
copper,  silver,  gold,  etc.,  because,  'When  the  Most 
High  divided  to  the  nations  their  inheritance, 
when  he  separated  the  sons  of  Adam,  he  set  the 
bounds  of  the  people  according  to  the  number  of 
the  children  of  Israel.'  " 

You  will  note  that  God  had  a  plan  for  this 
universe  in  Adam's  time,  which  was  before  there 
was  a  U.  S.  Navy,  long,  long  before  there  were  any 
children  of  Israel.  And  as  the  bounds  of  the  na- 
tions were  set  then  so  the  United  States  of 
America  was  provided  for  and  as  the  descendants 
of  Manasseh  were  to  become  a  "great  people," 
as  the  prophets  foretold,  they  would  need  plenty 
of  elbow  room,  plenty  of  coal,  plenty  of  oil,  plenty 
of  iron  and  other  necessities ;  for  they  were  to  take 
in  all  peoples  and  become  the  melting  pot  of  all 
nations  who  would  obey  America's  laws  and  so 
become  Israelites  hy  adoption  and  hy  their  belief 
in  Christ. 

In  comparatively  a  few  years  the  King  of 
Israel,  whose  right  it  is,  will  come  to  His  King- 
dom to  see  what  his  ten  servants  (the  10  tribes) 
have  done  during  his  absence  with  the  talents  he 
gave  them  when  he  commissioned  them  to   Oc- 


120  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

cupy  until  I  come.  AVhat  will  America's  answer 
be  in  those  days  if  asked  why  they  ducked  their 
share  of  the  white  man's  burden  in  Armenia  in 
1919  or  19201  America  must  stick  by  the  com- 
mission. "Go  ye  into  all  the  world"  and  not 
live  for  America  alone. 

AVhen  your  country  was  settled  only  on  the 
East  and  South,  the  lure  of  the  gold  in  Cali- 
fornia's ancient  hills  drew  your  citizens  across  the 
great  wilderness  that  then  was  between  the  East 
and  the  West ;  and  so  while  giving  them  the  wealth 
it  also  succeeded  in  peopling  all  America  from 
East  to  West  with  an  hundred  and  ten  million 
intelligent  prospective  Israelites,  and  more  com- 
ing. As  Ephraim  was  promised  the  crown  for 
David's  seed,  America  had  to  be  satisfied  with  a 
republic,  and  you  are.  But  day  and  night  are 
still  doing  business  with  us  and  so  is  God's 
Covenant,  and  somewhere  ruling  to-day  over 
Israel  is  the  seed  of  David,  his  servant — if  not 
in  Brith-ain,  where  is  it? 

I  happened  in  New  York  City  in  1919  and 
called  on  my  early  chief  do\ATi  at  Battery  Place 
the  morning  our  Prince  of  Wales  landed  on  the 
Battery  steps,  where  his  grandfather  had  landed 
some  sixty  years  before.  America  took  that  young 
Prince  to  its  heart  in  a  way  that  could  not  have 
been  more  real,  true,  and  lasting,  if  he  had  been 
their  own  Prince. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  121 

New  York  honored  itself  and  did  honor  to 
as  fine  a  young  man  as  ever  stepped  in  army  shoe- 
leather  that  morning.  We  Canadians  are  prond 
of  him  and  of  his  work,  and  it  warmed  the  cockles 
of  my  heart  to  see  that  you  were  proud  of  our 
Piince,  the  Prince  of  the  House  of  Israel.  I  some- 
how wished  that  morning  that  he  might  fall  in 
love  with  an  American  beauty  of  the  old  covenant 
stock  who  might  become  his  Better  Half  and  so 
join  the  two  sections  of  Israel  ("ruling  with 
God")  together  even  more  closely  than  they  are 
now,  because  to-day  there  is  a  world-wide  con- 
spiracy to  drive  these  brothers  apart  that  must 
and  will  meet  defeat. 

The  Prince's  motto  is  "I  serve";  and  many 
times  I  passed  him  beating  it  alone  and  on  foot 
along  the  railway  tracks  near  an  R.  E.  park  called 
"Ondank  Siding"  on  his  way  up  to  the  Front  of 
the  14th  Corps  to  which  he  was  attached  during 
the  terrific  Paschendale  fighting  in  front  of  Ypres 
in  1917.  Having  an  extra  star  on  my  tunic  above 
what  he  wore,  the  Prince  always  saluted  it  as  I 
passed  him,  as  if  I  were  the  King  of  England  and 
he  the  Roadbuilder,  a  lesson  in  true  democracy  to 
those  who  serve. 

"\\nien  the  Prince  stayed  with  the  Canadian 
Corps  at  the  Front,  he  showed  himself  as  true  a 
democrat  as  ever  grew  on  America's  verdant 
soil.  It  is  customary  in  any  army  mess  at  even- 
ing dinner  for  all  to  remain  seated  until  the  senior 


122  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

officer  rises.  The  Cliief  in  this  case  was  Lieu- 
tenant-General,  Sir  Arthur  Cnrrie,  who  before  the 
war  was  a  real  estate  agent  in  Vancouver,  B.C. 
and  a  major  in  the  local  volunteers,  and  who  won 
his  promotion  at  the  Front  step  by  step  by  sheer 
merit  and  hard  work  from  the  earliest  days  of  the 
war.  The  Prince  was  the  latest  arrival  at  the 
mess  and  the  evening  he  arrived  when  General 
Currie  rose  to  leave  the  table,  the  Prince  lived  up 
to  his  motto  of  "I  serve"  by  going  to  the  door 
and  opening  it  for  the  corps  commander  and  the 
senior  officers  to  pass  out  while  he  stood  at  at- 
tention. It  was  a  delightful  touch,  and  its  spon- 
taneity showed  the  true  heart  and  instinct 
beneath  his  khaki  tunic. 

America,  when  she  knows  it,  is  as  much  a 
part  of  the  House  of  Israel  as  is  Canada,  Aus- 
tralia or  New  Zealand  and  I  have  a  feeling  before 
many  3^ears  you  chaps  living  below  the  49th 
parallel  will  be  glad  to  think  and  to  know  that 
you  nationally  are  of  the  House  of  Israel. 

The  British  Isles  were  visited  by  Pytheas, 
a  Greek  navigator  who  sailed  around  Britain  in 
the  third  century  B.C.  and  reported  that  in  those 
days  they  made  an  attractive  drink  "Kurmi" 
which  gave  one  a  pain  in  the  head  and  also  af- 
fected one's  nerves  (both,  presumably  the  morn- 
ing after).*  So  times  have  not  changed  much  along 
some  lines  during  2200  years.

THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  123 

AVlien  the  Romans  invaded  Britain,  these 
Brythons  were  in  possession  of  a  gold  coinage, 
were  manufacturers  of  beautifully  wrought 
shields  of  bronz  and  enamelled  ornaments  and 
were  not  the  naked  skin-clad  barbarians  depicted 
in  some  histories.  They  had  a  civilization  far  in 
advance  of  Rome  of  that  time.  They  carried 
Christianity  from  the  Isles  and  planted  it  firmly 
in  Rome  itself  through  and  by  means  of  their  royal 
family  when  the  British  Christian  King  Caradoc 
or  Caractacus  being  defeated  was  taken  there  as  a 
prisoner  together  with  his  son  Linus  and  his 
daughters.  St.  Paul,  in  his  second  Timothy  4 :21, 
sends  greetings  to  this  early  Welsh  Christian 
whose  home  was  a  meeting  place  for  the  Apostles 
and  all  Christians.  The  first  Bishop  of  Rome  was 
a  Welshman,  the  Welsh  Prince  Linus.  This  is 
stated  by  Clemens  Romanus  who  became  the  third 
Bishop  of  Rome  only  thirteen  years  after.  It  is 
also  proved  by  the  unimpeachable  Irenaeus,  of  the 
second  century:  ^'The  blessed  Apostles  having 
formed  and  built  up  the  church,  put  into  the  hands 
of  Linus  the  ministry  of  the  Episcopate.  These 
facts  and  many  others  just  as  interesting  are 
proved  in  a  little  book  by  George  Howard-Wright, 
M.A. — Glastonhiiry  our  Mother  (price  1  shilling), 
and  also  by  Rev.  R.  W.  Morgan's  St.  Paul  in 
Britain  or  the  Origin  of  British  Christianity.

us.  Where  is  that  nation  to-day?  There 
are  not  many  to  pick  from ! 


CHAPTER  VII. 

One  evening  we  were  dining  in  onr  mess, 
located  in  a  small  village  behind  Betlmne,  during 
March,  1917.  We  had  an  old  chateau  to  ourselves, 
barring  a  dozen  families  of  chimney  martins  that 
shared  the  hallways  with  us,  there  being  no 
windows  to  keep  them  out.  Each  nest  later  had 
four  wide-eyed  young  ones  in  it  with  their  heads 
out  over  the  edge  as  we  went  to  and  fro. 

As  will  happen  when  ten  or  twelve  men  eat 
several  meals  a  day  together  for  almost  365  days 
of  the  year,  talk  languished. 

We  had  two  Sky  Pilots  with  us  as  a  regular 
diet  and  they  favored  us  with  manj^  visiting 
clergjmien  with  such  glorious  appetites !  VThy  are 
parsons  always  so  hungry,  I  wonder.  It  always 
seemed  as  if  it  was  my  luck  to  foregather  with 
from  one  to  three  of  them  in  each  mess  I  got  into, 
until  I  grew  to  think  that  some  one  in  authority 
thought  I  was  in  special  need  of  the  daily  and 
personal  attention  from  them  or  else  they  desired 
to  have  the  Padres'  vocabularies  enlarged  along- 
certain  explosive  lines  very  necessary  in  driving 
army  mules,  of  both  varieties — two  legged  and 
four  legged! 

Well,  this  evening  conversation  languished, 
and  to  make  talk,  I  chucked  out  something  about 
the  Jews  to  my  clerical  friends  across  the  table, 

126 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  127 

The  good-looking  young  major  sitting  next  to  me 
on  the  right  gently  tapped  me  on  the  knee  under 
the  table  and  whispered, 

''You  know,  Major  Blank  is  a  Jew." 

Major  Blank  sat  next  to  me  on  my  left.  Of 
course  I  knew  he  was  a  Jew^,  as  did  everyone  else, 
because  he  had  a  typical  Jew  nose  and  face,  and 
the  Jews'  business  capacity.    I  replied  out  loud, 

''Of  course  I  know  Major  Blank  is  a  Jew; 
he  is  a  first  cousin  of  mine!  The  Major  belongs 
to  the  tribe  of  Le^d  or  Judah,  while  I  am  from  the 
tribe  of  Benjamin  on  my  mother's  side  and  from 
the  tribe  of  Gad  on  my  father's  side." 

Turning  to  the  Major  I  said,  "By  the  way, 
Major,  I  suppose  you  remember  that  the  Bible 
said  of  your  tribe  of  Judah  (Isaiah  3:9):  'The 
shew  of  their  countenance  doth  witness  against 
them'?  And  so  dowTi  through  the  ages  you  can 
always  tell  a  Jew  as  far  away  as  you  can  see  his 
face." 

"Y^ou  know.  Major,"  I  continued,  "we  are 
going  to  win  Jerusalem,  Palestine,  and  the  Ploly 
Land  back  from  Turkey  (or  Edom,  as  the  Bible 
refers  to  it)  as  predicted  in  the  single  chapter  of 
Obadiah,  and  we  are  going  to  give  it  to  you  chaps 
for  a  national  home  for  Jews  under  Great 
Britain.-' 

But,  the  Major  wouldn't  have  any!  In  the 
first  place  he  didn't  believe  the  Bible  was  in- 
spired; 'twas  just  Hebrew  symbolical  literature, 


128  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  in  the  second  place  the  Jews  didn't  want  Jer- 
usalem and  wouldn't  go  back  if  they  had  it. 

''Well,  Major,  you  ought  to  be  an  authority 
on  Jews,  but  I  'm  sure  you  will  pardon  me  if  I  pre- 
fer the  authority  that  has  been  proved  correct,  in 
hundreds  of  predictions  extending  dowTi  through 
the  ages,  as  to  the  persecution,  etc.,  the  Jews  were 
to  receive  for  their  actions  and  for  having  re- 
jected and  crucified  our  Lord.  'His  blood  be  on 
us  and  our  children,'  they  cried,  and  for  nineteen 
hundred  years  it  certainly  has  been,  and  they  got 
what  they  asked  for  all  right.  If  you  take  the 
Bible  prophecies  about  Judah  and  the  Jews  in 
Isaiah,  first  five  chapters,  and  then  read  history 
you  will  see  that  each  Bible  prophecy  or  prediction 
due  up  to  date  has  come  true.  Therefore  you 
might  expect  the  prediction  that  the}'-  Avere  to 
be  joined  to  the  house  of  Israel  on  the  hills  of 
Palestine,  after  Ephraim  Israel  had  cleaned  out 
the  Turk,  to  come  true" — as  it  has  to  the  very 
letter,  both  to  Judah  (the  Jews)  and  to  Ephraim 
Israel  (Britain). 

"The  Bible  says.  Major,  that  you  hooked- 
nosed  chaps  are  going  to  hike  back  to  Palestine 
representatively,  one  of  a  city  and  two  of  a  family. 
There  will  be  two  Cohens,  two  Abraliams,  two 
Leons,  two  Moses,  etc." 

Nothing  doing  for  the  Major,  'twas  all 
bunk!     But  this   is  what  we  read  in  Jeremiah 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  129 

3 :14,  '  ^  And  I  will  take  you  one  of  a  city,  and  tAvo 
of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring  you  to  Zion" — or  the 
Holy  Land. 

However,  General  Allenby,  that  most 
sympathetic  of  all  our  army  commanders,  hap- 
pily selected  for  that  job,  finally  won  Jerusalem; 
and  immediately  the  Zionist  societies  of  Britain 
and  elsewhere  set  up  a  holler  for  a  national  home 
for  the  Jews.  But  Arthur  J.  Balfour,  then  Secre- 
tary of  State  for  Foreign  Affairs,  turned  them 
down  flat — nothing  doing. 

The  Major  met  me  at  breakfast  the  morning 
the  London  Times  reached  us  with  this  news. 

''Well  sir,"  says  he,  ''you  don't  get  your 
national  home  for  Jews  in  Palestine." 

"You  bet  your  last  pair  of  socks  we  will," 
says  I. 

"Why?  Didn't  you  see  what  Balfour  saidi" 

"Sure  I  did,  but  that  doesn't  cut  any  ice," 
says  I.  "Britain's  ministers  and  prime  ministers 
have  had  to  eat  their  words  dozens  of  times  with- 
in my  recollection  when  they  got  off  the  track  of 
the  plan  the  Creator  has  laid  down  for  Britain  to 
follow.  Take  Gladstone's  promise  to  get  out  of 
Egypt.  Did  he  do  it?  Not  on  your  life !  Because 
he  couldn't  and  he  had  to  eat  his  words  and 
promises  time  after  time  about  that  and  other 
things.  Balfour,  Major,  is  a  big  toad  in  the  Brit- 
ish pu<idle  and  a  charming  man ;  but  big  as  he  is, 
he  is  not  yet  running  the  universe  and  I  have  it  on 


130  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

the  authority  of  the  Runner  of  the  Universe  tliat 
both  the  Jews  and  Israel  are  going  back  to  Jer- 
usalem, representatively,  and  they  will  be  under 
a  king  there,  the  descendant  of  King  David  of 
Israel,  so  Great  Britain  must  have  the  mandate,  as 
she  has  the  only  king  who  clearly  is  descended 
from  King  David  of  Israel  and  Jerusalem  with 
an  enduring  dynasty — see  Psalm  89." 

Well,  inside  a  week  or  two  Arthur  J.  Bal- 
four had  to  turn  one  of  those  complete  somer- 
saults that  our  politicians  find  so  necessary  to 
execute  at  times  when  they  get  on  the  wrong  side 
of  the  political  fence,  and  working  against  the 
Creator 's  plan  laid  down  in  God 's  Word ;  and  he 
agreed  that  Great  Britain  would  use  her  best  in- 
fluence to  try  to  bring  about  a  national  homeland 
for  Jews  in  Palestine.  France  followed  suit,  then 
Italy,  and  I  believe  the  United  States  did  likewise. 

After  I  got  home  from  the  Front  in  the 
spring  of  1919  one  of  our  daily  papers  gave  an 
account  of  a  conference  of  Zionist  societies  from 
the  Western  States  which  met  in  Chicago.  They 
decided  to  send  representatives  to  the  Hol}^  Land. 
And  how  did  they  select  them?  ^\"hy,  just  as  the 
Bible  said  they  would:  "One  of  a  city"  to  the 
number,  I  think  it  was,  of  302  representatives. 
In  the  same  paper  was  a  cable  from  London  that 
the  Zion  Society  of  Palestine  had  cabled  the  Brit- 
ish Foreign  Office  not  to  allow  over  50,000  Jews,  I 
think  it  was,  to  return  that  year  as  they  could  not 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  131 

accommodate  all  that  were  flocking  in — See  Jer. 
3:14:  ''And  I  will  take  you  one  of  a  city,  and  two 
of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring  you  a  Zion. ' ' 

I  cut  out  both  these  clippings,  enclosed 
them,  and  wrote  a  note  to  my  first  cousin  (some 
removed),  the  Jew  major,  who,  like  myself,  was  a 
civilian,  and  asked:  ''How  about  the  Creator 
knowing  more  about  the  Jews  than  you  did!" 
After  many  moons  the  Major  got  the  letter  in  that 
quaint  old  walled  city  of  Lille  and  wrote  me  some 
months  later  saying  he  had  been  holding  off  until 
he  saw  the  final  outcome  of  the  whole  Palestine 
layout. 

Sir  Herbert  Samuels,  High  Commissioner 
for  Palestine,  had  left  England  for  the  Holy  Land 
and  a  close  relation  of  the  Major's,  who  was  a 
staunch  Zionist,  was  one  of  Sir  Herbert's  staff 
advisers.  The  Major  was  very  hearty  in  his  con- 
gratulations on  the  predictions  coming  out  exactly 
as  had  been  stated,  but  he  figured  no  Holy  Land 
for  his!  He  would  sooner  sell  boots  to  the  pil- 
grims enroute  for  there.  I  wrote  and  told  him 
some  of  the  particulars  that  were  yet  going  to 
happen  to  that  section  of  country  that  the  Creator 
selected  as  the  homeland  for  His  selected  seed, 
both  Judah  and  Israel. 

By  the  way,  it  was  predicted  Judah  should 
walk  with,  or  as  the  margin  has  it,  *'to"  Israel; 
and  they  have  been  doing  it  by  filling  large  sec- 
tions of  most  every  city  in  the  United  States, 


132  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Great  Britain  and  Canada  (all  portions  of  Israel) 
with  Jews  at  such  an  alarming  rate  during  the 
last  twenty-five  years,  and  so  much  to  the  disgust 
of  some  pillars  of  Israel — that  one  of  them  wrote 
me  recently  from  England  he  "wished  to  God 
they'd  all  go  back  to  Palestine  and  stay  there." 
Well,  this  particular  pillar  of  Israel  happens  to 
be  a  somewhat  peppery  general  who  does  not 
know  that  there  are  those  ''which  say  they  are 
Jews,  are  not,  but  are  the  synagogue  [or  con- 
gregation] of  Satan." 

The  Major,  being  an  Englishman  for  many 
generations,  was  as  stiff-necked  as  the  average  of 
that  tribe  about  a  new  idea  and  would  not  have 
any  joining  of  Britain  (Ephraim  Israel)  mth 
Judah  until  he  saw  it  as  an  accomplished  fact 
two  years  later.  I  might  have  quoted  the  prophets 
to  him,  but  not  being  a  believer  in  the  Bible  as  in- 
spired, he  would  have  said  it  was  ''bunkum" 
and  he  would  not  have  been  able  to  see  it ;  besides, 
he  might  have  retorted  by  some  reference  to  the 
"Devil  quoting  Scripture," — as  some  of  my  mess- 
mates thought  I  was  a  pretty  stout  limb  of  Satan 
any^^^ay.    Such  is  reputation! 

Look  up  Ezekiel  37 :19-22. 

19.  "Say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I  will  take  the  stiek  of  Joseph,  which  is  in  the 
hand:  of  Ephraim  [England],  and  the  tribes  of 
Israel  his  fellows — Simeon  (the  Welsh),  Gad  (Lowland 
Scotch),    Benjamin    (Normans),  etc.,    etc. — and  will 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  133 

put  them  with  him,  even  with  the  stick  of  Judah,  and 
make  them  one  stick,  and  they  shall  be  one  in  mine 
hand. 

20.  "And  the  sticks  whereon  thou  writest  shall 
be  in  thine  hand  before  their  eyes  [before  the  eyes  of 
all  the  world]. 

21.  "And  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God ; 
Behold,  I  will  take  the  children  of  Israel  from  among 
the  heathen,  whither  they  be  gone,  and  will  gather 
them  on  every  side,  and  bring  them  into  their  own 
land  [Palestine — given  to  their  forefather,  Abraham]. 

22.  "And  I  will  make  them  one  nation  in  the 
land  upon  the  mountains  of  Israel ;  and  one  king  shall 
be  king  to  them  all :  and  they  shall  be  no  more  two 
nation>s,  neither  shall  they  be  divided  into  two  king- 
doms and  more  at  all." 

Pretty  strong  medicine  to  hand  out  to  an 
unbelieving  Jew,  eh  what?  I  knew  I'd  have  about 
as  much  chance  of  getting  anyw^here  by  quoting 
it  to  my  friend  the  Major  as  a  snowball  has  of 
becoming  an  icicle  in  the  warm  place,  so  I  didn't 
trouble  him  with  this  data. 

You  may  not  know  that  tJie  Hehreiv  people 
were  finally  divided  by  the  Creator  into  two  na- 
tions about  the  year  974  B.C.  For  hundreds  of 
years  they  had  been  numbered  and  referred  to 
separately  even  when  under  one  king.  Just  here 
note  that  it  is  the  lack  of  this  knowledge  and  its 
application  to  Bible  prophecies  made  about  either 
Judah  or  Israel  that  is  the  cause  of  Churches' 
failure  to  properly  grasp,  interpret  and  see  the 
prophecies  concerning  Israel's  future  and  God's 


134  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

plan  for  her  redemption  after  their  dispersion  by 
Shalmaneser,  King  of  Assyria,  and  their  being 
taken  across  the  Euphrates. 

You  will  see,  in  First  Kings,  Chapters  11 
and  12,  how  these  Hebrews  were  finally  separated 
into  two  nations  by  God.  King  David  had  joined 
Judah  and  Israel  together  and  ruled  over  them, 
yet  note  how  in  II  Samuel  5:4,  5  Israel  is  men- 
tioned separate  from  Judah : 

4.  "David  was  thirty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  forty  years. 

5.  "In  Hebron  he  reigned  over  Judah  seven 
j^ears  and  six  months:  and  in  Jerusalem  he  reigned 
thirty  and  three  years  over  all  Israel  and  Judah." 

Solomon,  David's  son — born  in  1033  B.C., 
crowned  King  of  Israel  in  1015,  and  died  in  975 
B.C. — was  told  that  because  of  his  idolatry  and 
so  forth  (mostly  so  forth,  as  you  will  see  by  read- 
ing this  interesting  chapter),  nine  out  of  the  ten 
tribes  of  Israel  would  be  taken  from  his  kingdom, 
not  in  his  day  but  in  his  son's  time. 

"And  unto  his  [Solomon's]  son  will  I  give  one 
tribe,  that  David  my  servant  maj^  have  a  light  alway 
before  me  in  Jerusalem,  the  city  which  I  have  chosen 
me  to  put  my  name  there,"     (I  Kings  11:36.) 

This  was  the  tribe  of  Benjamin  whom 
Moses  blessed  and  said: 

"The  beloved  of  the  Lord  shall  dwell  in  safety  by 
liim;  and  the  Lord  shall  cover  him  all  the  day  long, 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  135 

and   he   shall   dwell   between   his   shoulders."    (Dent. 
33:12.) 

This  tribe  received  Christ  gladly  wlien  the 
Jews  persecuted  him.  Eleven  of  the  twelve 
apostles  were  Benjamites;  the  twelfth,  Judas,  a 
Jew,  sold  Jesus  for  thirty  pieces  of  silver.  The 
Jews  would  not  receive  Christ ;  but  Benjamin,  you 
will  remember,  was  left  temporarily  with  Judah 
when  the  kingdom  was  divided  after  the  reign  of 
Solomon,  "that  David  my  servant  may  have  a 
light  alway  before  me  in  Jerusalem."  This 
Benjamin  tribe  received  Christ  and  as  His 
disciples  started  out  to  be  the  light  to  lighten  the 
world,  Jesus,  instructing  them,  said:  "Go  not 
into  the  wa}^  of  the  Gentiles,  and  into  any  city  of 
the  Samaritans  enter  }^e  not :  but  go  rather  to  the 
lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel" — the  sheep  that 
had  been  taken  captive.  The  sheep  that  had  for- 
saken God  and  become  idolaters  had  quit  the 
Mosaic  rites  and  laws  and  their  first  order  to  go 
to  Israel  rather  than  to  Judah  was  afterwards 
amplified  by  a  command  to  "go  ye  into  all  the 
world."  Jesus  knowing  Israel  was  to  be  scat- 
tered among  all  the  nations  commanded  his 
disciples  to  go  into  all  the  world. 

When  Rehoboam,  King  of  Judah,  with 
whom,  as  we  said,  were  temporarily  the  tribe  of 
Benjamin,  numbering  "an  hundred  and  four 
score   thousand   chosen   men,   which   were    war- 


136  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

riors,"  was  making  ready  to  fight  against  the 
House  of  Israel  (who  kicked  over  the  traces  be- 
cause of  the  high  taxes  and  heavy  yokes,  etc. — the 
sort  of  taxes  their  descendants  to-day  are  conv 
plaining  about  in  U.S.A.),  "the  word  of  God  came 
mito  Shemaiah,  the  man  of  God,  saying,  speak 
unto  Rehoboam,  the  son  of  Solomon,  king  of 
Judah,  and  unto  all  the  house  of  Judah  and  Benja- 
min, and  to  the  remnant  of  the  people,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight 
against  your  brethren,  the  children  of  Israel :  re- 
turn every  man  to  his  house;  for  this  thing  is 
from  me.  They  hearkened  therefore  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord." 

Now  then,  whether  you  believe  in  prophecy 
or  not,  history  shews  that  Judah  and  Israel  were 
divided  and  have  been  separate  and  distinct  until, 
as  foretold,  they  were  joined  together  in  Palestine 
after  Edom  or  Turkey  had  been  smashed  in  1917. 
Just  seven  times  (a  time  being  360  years)  after 
it  had  fallen,  i.e.,  2520  years,  and  in  the  2520  year 
General  Allenby  captured  it  and  entered  Jer- 
usalem on  foot,  not  as  victorious  troops  but  as  a 
redeemer  of  the  Holy  Places. 

If  our  clergyman  could  only  see  this  divis- 
ion commanded  to  be  made  by  God  and  would 
realize  that  when  the  Bible  refers  to  Judah  or  the 
Jews,  it  means  exactly  what  it  says,  since  the 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  137 

nation  Israel  (ruling  with  God)  is  as  separate  in 

prophecy  from  Judah  as  it  is  possible  to  make  it, 

they  would  get  such  new  revelations  that  they 
would  get  us  all  to  take  out  our  disused  Bibles 
and  find  the  living  Word  of  God  more  up  to  date 
than  any  publication  in  America  or  anywhere  else. 

Recently  I  heard  one  of  the  best  educated 
Episcopal  clergymen  on  this  continent  refer  to  St. 
Paul  as  "a  little  Jew."  Now,  St.  Paul  was  as 
much  "a  little  Jew"  as  I  am  "a  little  Newfound- 
lander ' '  and  no  more !  I  telephoned  this  venerable 
gentleman  and  asked  him  why  he  called  St.  Paul 
*'a  little  Jew." 

''Well,  he  wasn't  a  Gentile  was  he?" — 
shoAving  that  he  considered  it  necessary  to  be  one 
or  the  other.  St.  Paul  himself  said  in  the  11th 
chapter  of  Romans,  1st  verse: 

"I  say  then,  Hath  God  cast  away  his  people 
[Israel]  ?  God  forbid.  For  I  also  am  an  Israelite,  of 
the  seed  of  Abraham,  of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin." 

It  is  true  his  tribe  was  temporarily  with  the 
Judah  Kingdom  and  he  could  say  he  was  a  Jew, 
temporarily,  in  tlie  same  way  he  could  say  he  was 
a  Roman  citizen  without  stretching  the  truth,  but, 
by  birth  he  was  of  Israel  and  of  the  tribe  of 
Benjamin,  ''beloved  of  the  Lord,"  and  he  knew 
it,  was  proud  of  it  and  proclaimed  it  to  the  Jews 
and  to  Israel. 


138  THE  DESTINY  OP  AMERICA 

You  will  rementber  that  the  tribe  of  Benja- 
min was  left  w^ith  Judah, ' '  that  David,  my  servant, 
may  have  a  light  always  before  Me  in  Jerusalem." 
This  light  was  to  lighten  the  world  and  here  vras 
St.  Paul  who,  together  with  Luke,  Timothy  and 
Mark  in  A.I).  61,  carried  this  light  to  the  British 
or  Covenant  Isles*  where  his  brethren  were.  Read 
Romans  11 :  25,  26,  30,  where  he  was  speaking  to 
his  own  people,  Israelites: 

25.  "For  I  would  not,  brethren,  that  ye  should 
be  ignorant  of  this  mystery,  lest  ye  should  be  wise  in 
yonr  own  conceits ;  that  blindness  in  part  is  happened 
to  Israel,  until  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles  be  come  in." 

26.  And  so  all  Israel  shall  be  saved :  as  it  is 
written,  There  shall  come  out  of  Sion  the  Deliverer, 
and  shall  turn  away  ungodliness  from  Jacob. 

30.  For  as  ye  in  times  past  have  not  believed 
God,  yet  have  now  obtained  mercy  through  their  un- 
belief. 

Here  you  will  notice  that  this  partial 
blindness  of  Israel  had  a  time  limit.  How  long? 
"Until  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles  be  come  in." 
"Well,  that  time  limit  expired  when  the  Holy  City, 
Jerusalem,  ceased  to  be  trodden  down  by  the  in- 
famous Ottoman,  or  0  T'Heman,  when  Britain 
took  possession  by  capture  in  1917.  This  blind- 
ness in  part  is  therefore  now  to  be  removed  and  it 
is  just  possible  this  screed  may  help  along  that 
line.     Anyway,  its  up  to  Manasseh,  the  United

THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  139 

States  section  of  Israel  to  get  wise  to  the  fact  that 
they  are  that  "great  people"  who  in  early  days 
B.C.  thumped  their  chests  and  hollered  for  more 
land  because  they  were  a  great  people,  and  they 
got  it ;  since  which  time  ' '  though  blinded  in  part, ' ' 
they  have  not  entirely  forgotten  their  chest- 
elevating  habits,  nor  the  inclination  to  holler  "We 
are  a  great  people. "  "  We  won  the  War ! "  "  We 
will  have  the  biggest  navy  afloat,"  etc  Bless  your 
hearts,  you  can't  help  it  any  more  than  the  rest 
of  us.  We,  your  neighbours  on  the  North  know" 
you  from  your  boots  up.  We  know  it  is  hard  to 
live  in  the  ozone-filled  atmosphere  of  this  North 
American  Continent  (of  which  don't  forget  we 
Canadians  owm  the  larger  half)  and  not  boast. 
We  above  the  49th  parallel  have  our  ardor  a  bit 
tempered  by  those  gentle  zephyrs  wafting  down 
from  the  Aurora  Borealis  area  several  months  of 
the  3^ear ;  but  even  with  this  and  among  ourselves, 
there  is  a  saying  that  a  man  cannot  tell  the  truth 
about  Canada  anywhere  west  of  Port  Arthur. 
They  just  boast ! 

'Twas  odd,  but  whenever  we  Canadians 
met  a  man  from  the  U.S.A.,  whether  officer  or 
"Doughboy"  at  the  Front,  we  felt  'twas  someone 
from  home.  Motoring  back  from  Germany  in 
January,  1919,  I  passed  through  the  American 
headquarters  area  at  Coblenz,  then  into  Treves 
where  Marshall  Foch  has  his  headquarters.  We 
went  to  the  tovm.  major  for  a  billet.    I  noticed  he 


140  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

wore  one  of  those  straight  corset-like,  uncomfort- 
able looking  (for  working)  tunics  of  the  U.  S. 
Army,  so  I  said. 

"Hello,  Yank!  What  are  the  chances  for  a 
shake-doi\Ti  for  two  officers  and  my  chauffeur  for 
the  night!" 

*'Not  very  good,  Sir,"  he  replied,  looking 
me  over.  "AYhere  do  you  hail  from  when  you 
are  home?" 

I  told  him.  He  knew  my  city.  He  was 
from  Detroit  (Park  Davis  Co.),  and  he  dug  us 
up  a  splendid  billet,  had  my  motor  filled  with 
gasoline  and  forgot  to  charge  it,  because  our  cities 
were  not  over  a  thousand  miles  apart,  and  be- 
cause we  told  stories  that  each  could  understand 
without  the  aid  of  a  mallet  and  chisel.  We  were 
brothers  in  ideas,  in  ideals,  and  in  service. 

We  motored  through  beautiful  old  Luxem- 
bourg, Metz,  Nancy  and  Verdun,  Kheims,  Noyen, 
Amiens  and  back  to  Lille.  At  Metz  an  American 
showed  us  the  figure  of  the  prophet  Daniel,  cut  in 
stone,  with  the  other  prophets  on  tlie  cathedral. 
Emperor  William  had  had  his  own  face,  with  its 
up-turned  mustache,  carved  in  place  of  the 
prophet  Daniel's,  but  still  retaining  the  latter 's 
gown  and  folded  arms!  An  Anglo-Saxon  would 
have  been  tempted  to  smash  it  with  an  axe  when 
they  took  over  the  city,  but  the  French  had  a  more 
subtle  wit.  They  had  a  pair  of  large  iron  manacles 
made  and  placed  on  Daniel's  folded  arms,  so

there  stands  the  Kaiser  in  irons  on  the  corner  of 
the  Cathedral  in  Metz  Public  Square  for  future 
generations  to  admire! 

At  Verdun  the  only  eating-place  available 
was  an  American  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  one  of  the  semi- 
demolished  buildings.  'Twas  a  cold,  wet  day  and 
their  roof  was  only  a  quarter  left  on  and  the 
balance  badly  splintered.  My  nose  told  me  it  was 
a  Yankee  chuck-house  for  I  smelled  flapjacks  and 
maple  syrup  when  I  got  inside  the  battered  door. 
Noticing  a  vacant  space  on  a  plank  alongside  a 
young  lady  I  hastily  filled  it,  as  women's  com- 
pany at  "the  Front  was  a  real  treat. 

''Well,  Sister,  what  part  of  Yankee  Land 
do  you  hail  from?" 

''Lincobi,  Nebraska,"  says  she  as  if  with 
a  clothes  peg  on  her  nose. 

''Good  gracious,  but  you're  a  long  way 
from  home  aren't  you?    How  did  you  make  it?" 

She  was  only  about  a  handful  and  so  frail- 
looking  I  Avondered  how  she  passed  inspection. 

"Is  your  billet  dry?"  I  asked,  seeing  that 
she  had  a  bad  cold. 

"Well,  at  times." 

If  the  wind  and  rain  blew  from  the  west, 
they,  she  and  another  young  lady,  pushed  their 
cots  to  the  east  side  of  the  room  where  it  was 
dry,  but  if  it  changed  direction  during  the  night 
their  cots  and  blankets  got  wet.  They  gave  us  a 
bang-up  hot  meal,  for  we  were  chilled  to  the  bone 


142  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  they  made  us  feel  as  much  at  home  as  if  we 
were  a  William  Jennings  Bryan  Jr.  It  was  always 
thus  when  Americans  and  Canadians  met:  we 
were  brothers  in  fact,  as  we  are  by  inheritance 
and  by  that  long  distance  relationship  dating  from 
our  forefather  as  well  as  your  forefather  Joseph, 
the  food  controller  in  Egypt  for  those  seven  lean 
years  1700  B.C.  to  1693  B.C. 

When  we  realize  the  final  division  of  the 
Hebrews  into  two  separate  nations  as  shown  in 
this  chapter,  one  is  in  a  position  to  read  intelli- 
gently future  references,  predictions  and  proph- 
ecies made  concerning  Israel  as  Avell  as  Judah 
throughout  both  the  Old  and  New  Testaments, 
and — if  I  may  be  pardoned  for  saying  it  (es- 
pecially by  the  parsons,  who,  I  find,  dislike  having 
a  la\mian  prod  them  or  their  Union  when  it  comes 
to  Bible  facts) — no  person  can  understand  one 

half  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  without  this 
knowledge. 


In  Matthew  21:  43  Jesus  speaking  to  the 
Jews  said: 

''Therefore  say  I  unto  you,  the  kingdom 

of  God  shall  be  taken  from  you  [Jews],  and 
given  to  a  nation  bringing  forth  the  fruits 
thereof." 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  143 

Many  Episcopalian  and  other  churchmen 
hold  that  God's  Kingdom  has  been  passed  on  to 
the  church  as  custodians  and  they  forget  entirely 
the  "nation"  referred  to  by  Jesus,  a  nation  bring- 
ing forth  the  fruits  thereof.  Such  a  nation  does 
exist  to-day,  who,  with  their  offspring,  are  ful- 
filling every  prophecy  foretold  about  Israel ;  but 
the  church  is  in  no  sense  filling  these  prophecies. 
'*  There  are  none  so  blind  as  those  who  will  not 
see ! ' ' — churchmen  included ! 

Had  I  the  time  I  would  like  to  explore  the 
churches'  contention  that  they  are  Israel,  as  I 
could  prove  to  your  satisfaction  that  not  one  or 
even  all  the  churches  can  qualify  for  this  name 
since  they  are  neither  "a  nation"  nor  do  they 
properly  bring  forth  ' '  the  fruits  thereof. ' '  Their 
failure  to  properly  bring  forth  the  fruits  as 
churches  (not  as  nations)  and  carry  forward  the 
Creator's  design  therein  caused  to  spring  up  those 
zealous  Dissenters  who  in  turn  have  not  seen  this 
truth  except  in  spots, — Puritans,  Baptists,  Metho- 
dists and  last  but  not  least,  that  splendid  host 
raised  by  that  eminent  Father  in  Israel,  General 
Booth,  for  the  further  world-wide  propagation  of 
God's  Word  by  deeds  and  works  among  those  who 
need  it  most.  I  do  not  mention  herein  the  Church 
of  Scotland,  offspring  of  the  church  Jeremiah 
founded  in  Ulster  about  the  year  575  B.C.,  whose 
ministers   (provided  they  were  not  educated  at 


144  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Oxford)  still  largely  believe  the  Bible  is  inspired 
from  cover  to  cover. 

I  would  not  for  a  moment  depreciate  the 
good  work  done  by  the  churches ;  but  in  my  time 
they  seem  mostly  in  what  the  sailors  would  call 
the  doldrums,  sails  all  up  ready  for  business  but 
idly  flapping  from  side  to  side.  Since  the  German- 
made  higher  criticism  fell  by  the  wayside  in 
1914,  they  seem  waiting  for  a  breeze  to  carry 
them  along  towards  their  haven,  and  the  congTe- 
gations  aboard  are  mostly  busy  dodging  the  boom 
as  it  idly  flaps  from  side  to  side  in  the  gentle  roll  of 
a  calm  undisturbed  sea  and  getting  nowhere.  The 
breeze  they  need  is  in  the  Bible  but  their  blind 
leaders  spiritualize  it  away  as  the  higher  critics 
in  Germany  have  done.  They  see  the  cross  but 
fail  to  see  the  Crown  or  Kingship  of  National 
Israel  the  ten  workmen  Jesus  told  to  ''occupy"  his 
kingdom  until  he  comes  to  Earth  to  rule  from 
Jerusalem. 

I  really  have  little  license  to  criticize  be- 
cause I  have  never  joined  a  church,  though  our 
parson,  my  children  say,  once  referred  to  me  from 
the  pulpit  "as  a  staunch  pillar  of  the  church," 
when  I  was  in  France — I  wonder  if  he  mil  with- 
draw it  now!  But  being  a  religious  animal  I  at- 
tended cliurch  regularly  both  at  the  Front,  in  Eng- 
land on  leave,  and  at  home,  and  I  must  confess  that 
most  churches  seem  to  have  a  tendency  to  run  to 
seed,  side  and  formalism,  ^\dthout  being  especially 
hotbeds  of  brotherliness  and  light. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  145 

They  refuse  to  look  through  this  window 
that  God  has  opened  for  them  in  His  inspired 
Word  as  if  it  was  a  man-made  window  and  they 
bethump  those  who  do  as  if  they  were  infidels. 

They  seem  to  worship  idols  of  Success, 
Glad  Rags  and  New  Bonnets  quite  as  much 
as  they  do  the  Creator,  and  most  of  the  ministers 
I  have  happened  to  hear,  especially  in  England, 
reading  the  living  Word  of  God  make  it  about  as 
attractive  as  is  the  reading  of  a  dictionary  of  the 
last  century. 

As  an  alleged  custodian  and  interpreter  of 
God's  Word  given  to  men  through  the  mouths  of 
His  prophets  in  our  Old  and  New  Testaments, 
every  clergyman  preaching  from  God's  AYord 
should  be  prepared  to  answer  this  question  which 
I  think  a  layman  is  entitled  to  ask . 

What  did  Jesus  mean  by  saying  that  the 

Kingdom  of  God  would  be  taken  from  the  Jew^s 
and  given  to  a  nation  bringing  forth  the  fruits 
thereof?  Where  is  there  such  a  nation?  Where 
is  the  enduring  throne  of  an  enduring  nation  to 
be  seen  daily  as  the  sun  and  moon  are  seen,  as 
promised  to  David  about  1024  B.C.  in  Psalm  89. 

Is  it  Germany,  Russia,  Austria,  or  Turkey? 

Is  it  Portugal,  Italy,  Spain  or  Ireland? 

Methinks  that  only  among  the  Anglo- 
Saxon    nations    can    you    find    a    people    who, 


146  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

even  imperfectly,  are  still  bringing  forth  the 
fruits  of  the  Gospel  our  Lord  taught  when  on 
earth. 

The  seed  of  David  Avas  to  rule  until  Christ 
came  again ;  therefore  to-day,  somewhere,  there  is 
reigning  the  seed  of  David. 

Where  are  they?  Who  are  the  nations 
bringing  forth  the  fruits  of  Bible  teaching?  What 
nations  are  spreading  God's  AVord  and  laws 
broadcast  over  the  earth? 

Alfred,  the  Great,  in  his  day  placed  the  Ten 
Commandments  at  the  beginning  of  British  laws 
and  further  adopted  many  of  Moses'  national  laws 
and  statutes  laid  down  for  Israel  in  the  Bible,  and 
he  did  well.  He  also  built  the  first  national  Brit- 
ish navy.  Psalm  89  says:  "I  will  set  his  hand 
also  in  the  sea,  and  his  right  hand  in  the  rivers." 
Since  the  time  of  Alfred  the  Great  Britannia,  or 
Covenant  of  the  sea,  has  ruled  the  waves  and  will 
now  share  it  with  Brother  Jonathan,  and  perhaps 
Japan. 

AMio  is  doing  tlie  missionary  work  of  the 
world  to-day?  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  in  1588  gave 
£100  to  the  Virginia  Company  for  the  propa- 
gation of  Christianity  in  that  settlement,  being 
the  first  recorded  missionary  work  done  in 
America ;  and  it  was  done  by  a  Covenant  man — 
^^Brith,"  Covenant  and  ''isli,"  man. 

Under  CroniAvell,  in  1649,  the  Corporation 
for  the  Propagation  of  tlie  Gospel  in  New  Eng- 
land, new  Bull  land,  was  formed. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  147 

The  United  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain  and 
the  United  States  of  America  are  the  two  nations 
carrying  on  about  75  per  cent,  of  the  missionary- 
work  of  the  world  as  the  following  data  will  show, 
and  whenever  there  is  distress  or  famine  or  want 
the  world  over,  the  Anglo-Saxons  give  their  sub- 
stance, give  heartily  and  give  quickly,  and  give 
three  times  as  much  as  all  the  rest  of  the  world 
put  together.  Why,  I  wonder?  This  was  fore- 
seen by  the  prophets  when  we  were  given  our 
world-wide  commission. 

The  following  figures  just  give  you  a  faint 
idea  of  how  Anglo-Saxons  have  been  carrying  on 
their  job  as  missionaries  to  the  heathen  Gentiles 
and  the  demands  for  light  and  Bibles  during  the 
next  few  years  will  double  and  treble.

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Your  Pilgrim  Forefathers  were  a  God- 
fearing body  of  men.  ''They  entered  into  cove- 
nant to  walk  with  God  and  one  with  one  another, 
in  the  enjoyment  of  the  Ordinances  of  God,  ac- 
cording to  the  Primitive  Pattern  in  the  "Word  of 
God.  But  finding  by  experience  they  could  not 
peaceal  ly  enjoy  their  own  liberty  in  their  Native 
Country,  without  offence  to  others  that  were  dif- 
ferently minded,  they  took  up  thoughts  of  remov- 
ing."* 

They  first  went  to  Holland,  and  from  there 
the  spirit  moved  them  to  go  to  America.  It  took 
two  years,  however,  before  they  could  secure  the 
right  and  a  patent  to  take  up  land  in  Virginia. 
They  had  to  explain  that  they  were  Englishmen 
and  Protestants,  that  they  assented  to  the  doc- 
trines of  the  Church  of  England  and  acknowl- 
edged the  King's  authority;  and  they  agreed  not 
to  become  rebellious  or  dangerous  colonists.  The 
government  seemed  to  have  a  hunch  even  in  that 
day  that  they  were  to  lose  America  and  so  tied 
them  to  an  agreement  not  to  be  rebellious,  etc.

THE  DESTINY  OP  AMERICA  151 

After  those  in  Holland  had  embarked  and 
had  stopped  for  their  friends  in  England,  the 
I^ilgrims  left  Plymouth  and  started  across  the 
ocean  in  the  "Mayflower"  and  the  "Speedwell." 
On  two  occasions  they  had  to  sail  back  to  Eng- 
land because  of  the  unseaworthiness  of  the 
' '  Speedwell ' ' ;  and  they  finally  had  to  give  up  the 
"Speedwell,"  sell  part  of  their  provisions,  and 
overcrowd  the  "Mayflower"  when  they  made 
their  final  start,  September  6-16,  1620,  for 
Virginia. 

The  "Ma^^flower"  had  a  tough  passage, 
encountering  many  gales,  in  one  of  which  her 
main  beam  was  broken.  But  one  of  the  Pilgrims 
had  a  jack  screw  and  with  this  a  repair  was  made 
and  the  voyage  was  continued.  They  made  land 
November  9-19,  1620,  at  Cape  Cod.  The  crew 
refused  to  sail  down  the  coast  in  the  teeth  of  the 
November  gales,  and  the  Pilgrims  had  to  land 
and  stay  in  Massachusetts  though  their  patent 
was  only  for  Virginia. 

Right  here  may  I  mention  how  Providence 
guided  these  people  and  took  care  of  them.  Had 
they  landed  on  any  other  section  of  the  coast  than 
where  they  did,  they  never  could  have  survived 
the  winter  and  the  Indians.  A  plague  had  struck 
this  section  of  country  two  3^ears  before  and 
wiped  out  the  Indians  but  left  in  a  cave  some 
eight  bushels  of  Indian  corn,  which  the  Pilgrims 


152  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

used  for  seed  for  the  season  1621,  as  they  brought 
none  from  England. 

On  December  25th  they  commenced  their 
first  house.  During  that  first  winter  they  en- 
dured many  hardships  and  lost  their  governor 
and  one  half  the  colony  by  death  and  the  rest 
were  so  weakened  that  had  the  warlike  Indians 
of  the  other  parts  of  the  coast  been  in  this  section 
of  country,  the  Pilgrims  could  not  possibly  have 
survived. 

In  1621  they  secured  a  patent,  granted  by 
the  English  Council  for  New  England  (the  new 
bull  or  Engle  land). 

Israel  was  to  settle  the  coasts  and  waste 
places  of  the  earth  and  drive  the  heathen  before 
them.  Was  that  promise  fulfilled  in  the  case  of 
the  Pilgrims  when  as  Englishmen  thej^  settled 
New  England?  Can  we  do  better  than  to  take 
the  words  of  the  Pilgrims  themselves?  You  can 
readily  see  that  the  heathen  were  driven  out  be- 
fore them  by  the  plague  and  the  way  made  easy 
for  them  to  build  homes  and  become  installed 
peacefully. 

Nathaniel  Morton,  the  historian  addressed 
a  Memorial  to  the  Right  Worshipful  Thomas 
Prince,  Governor  of  New  England,  published  by 
E.  P.  Dutton  &  Co.,  N.Y.,  from  which  I  have 
taken  the  following  quotations : 

"Have  never  seen  nor  heard  of  any    [memorial 
writings]  especially  respecting  this  our  plantation  of 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  153 

New  Plimoiith,  ivhich  God  hath  honored  to  he  the  first 
in  this  land,  I  have  made  bold  to  present  your  Wor- 
ships with,  and  to  publish  to  the  world,  something  of 
the  very  first  beginnings  of  the  great  actions  of  God 
in  New  England,  begun  at  New  Plimouth. 

"I  should  gladly  have  spoken  more  particularly 
of  the  neighboring  united  colonies,  whose  ends  and 
aims  in  their  transplanting  of  themselves  and  families, 
were  the  same  with  ours,  viz.  the  glory  of  God,  the 
propagation  of  the  Gospel  and  enlargement  of  His 
Majesty's  Dominions 

"And  declaration  of  God's  wonderful  works  for, 
by,  and  to  his  People  in  preparing  a  place  for  them 
by  driving  out  the  Heathen  before  them  .  .  and  making 
this  howling  wilderness  a  chamber  of  rest,  safety  and 
pleasantness." 

As  early  as  1623  these  Englishmen  kept 
days  for  fasting,  humiliation,  and  prayer  and  in 
1637  passed  an  ordinance:  "That  it  be  in  the 
power  of  the  governor  and  assistants  to  com- 
mand solemn  days  of  humiliation,  and  also  for 
thanksgiving,"  and  since  then  their  American 
descendants  have  eaten  the  November  Thanks- 
giving turkey  and  cranberry,  with  or  without  the 
aforementioned  humiliation  and  prayer  attach- 
ments and  in  many  cases  I'm  afraid  have  forgot- 
ten what  their  predecessors  knew  in  their  souls, 
namely,  that  God  had  been  and  still  was  looking 
after  them  and  "prospering  their  undertakings," 
as  your  Great  Seal  of  State  says,  above  the  all- 
seeing  eye. 

Here  are  some  paragraphs  from  Chronicles 
of  tlie  Pilgrim  Fathers  that  is  particularly  appro-

priate  to  these  times  (when  authority  is  looked 
askance  by  so  many  "Reds"  and  semi-" Reds," 
profiteers,  etc.)  and  for  electing  representatives: 

"Lastly  ...  let  your  wisdom  and  godliness  appear 
not  onl,y  in  choosing  such  persons  as  do  entirely  love, 
and  will  promote  the  common  good;  but  also  in 
yielding  unto  them  all  due  Honor  and  Obedience  in 
their  lawful  administrations,  not  beholding  in  them 
the  ordinariness  of  their  persons,  but  God's  ordinance 
for  your  good;  not  being  like  the  foolish  multitude, 
who  more  honor  the  gay  coat  then  either  the  virtuous 
mind  of  the  man,  or  the  glorious  ordinance  of  God. 

"Ought  not,  and  may  not  the  children  of  these 
fathers  rightly  say,  our  fathers  were  Englishmen, 
which  came  over  this  great  ocean,  and  were  ready  to 
perish  in  this  wilderness,  but  they  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  he  heard  their  voice,  and  looked  on  their 
adversity." 

About  March  16,  1621,  an  Indian  called 
Samoset  came  to  the  Puritan  settlement.  He 
could  speak  a  little  English  and  proved  to  be, 
they  wrote,  "  a  special  instrument  sent  of  God 
for  their  good,  beyond  expectation."  He  told 
them  how  to  plant  the  corn  they  found  left  by  the 
plague-killed  Indians,  w^here  to  fish  for  the  fish 
so  necessary  for  them  to  live  and  helped  in  divers 
manners  so  long  as  he  lived. 

"By  that  time  all  their  corn  was  planted,  all  their 
victuals  [that  were  brought  from  England]  was  spent 
and  they  were  only  to  rest  on  God's  providence; 
many  times  at  night  not  knowing  where  to  have  any- 
thing to  sustain  nature  the  next  day,  and  so  had 
need  to  pray  that  God  would  give  them  their  daily 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  155 

bread  .  .  sometimes  for  two  or  three  months  together 

they  neither  had  bread  or  any  kind  of  corn. 

*  #     *     * 

When  the  Pilgrims  had  no  rain  on  their 
corn  from  the  third  week  in  May  until  the  middle 
of  July  in  1624,  "they  set  apart  a  solemn  day  of 
humiliation,  to  seek  the  Lord  by  humble  and 
fervent  prayer"  for  some  eight  hours  in  their 
great  distress.  Though  the  morning  was  clear  and 
hot,  without  a  cloud  in  the  sky,  at  evening  they 
were  blessed  with  gentle  showers  in  abundance 
until  the  parched  ground  was  wet  and  soaked, 
much  to  the  admiration  of  the  Indians  who  wit- 
nessed their  prayers  and  supplications  for  rain. 

*  *    *    * 

"And  whoso  rightly  considereth  what  manner 
of  entrance,  abiding,  and  proceedings  we  have  had 
among  these  poor  heathens  [the  Indians]  since  we 
came  hither,  will  easily  think  that  God  hath  some 
great  work  to  do  towards  them.  They  were  wont  to 
be  the  most  crnel  and  treacherous  people  in  all  these 
parts,  even  like  lions;  but  to  us  [Pilgrims]  they  have 
been  like  lambs,  so  kind,  so  submissive,  and  trusty,  as 
a  man  maj'  truly  say,  many  Christians  are  not  so  kind 

nor  sincere. 

*  *     *     # 

"Thus  God  preserved  the  vine,  which  }iis  own 
right  hand  had  planted  and  has  enlarged  our  borders, 
by  giving  to  us  the  heritage  of  the  heathen,  which 
they  justly  forfeited  by  their  unreasonable  rebellion. 
Oh !  that  the  people  of  this,  and  the  other  colonies, 
would  praise  the  Lord  for  his  goodness,  and  wonder- 
ful  works  unto  them." 


156  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Upon  the  deatli,  in  1667,  of  Mr.  John  Wil- 
son, for  thirty-seven  years  pastor  in  Boston,  one 
who  signed  himself  J.  M.  wrote  some  blank  verse 
from  which  I  quote  a  few  lines : 

"Ah !  now  there's  none  who  does  not  know, 

That  this  da}'  in  onr  Israel 
Is  fall'n  a  great  good  man  too, 

A  Prince,  I  might  have  said  as  well: 
A  man  of  princely  power  with  God, 

For  faith  and  love  of  princely  spirit ; 
Onr  Israel's  chariots,  horsemen  good. 

By  faith  and  prayer,  though  not  by  merit!" 

Moses  in  Exodus  31 :13  was  commanded : 
''Speak  thou  also  unto  the  children  of  Israel,  say- 
ing. Verily  my  sabbaths  ye  shall  keep :  for  it  is  a 
sign  between  me  and  you  throughout  your  genera- 
tions; that  ye  may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  that 
doth  sanctify  you." 

Your  Pilgrim  Forefathers  kept  the  Sab- 
bath as  did  the  British  from  whom  they  sprang, 
and  the  Anglo-Saxons  are  the  nations  and  the 
only  nations  the  world  over  who  do  keep  it,  by  the 
law  of  the  land  as  well  as  by  general  observance 
of  doing  no  work,  etc.  At  the  Paris  Exposition 
in  1889  every  nation  had  their  exhibit  wide  open 
on  the  Sabbath  day  as  on  the  other  six  days  of 
the  week,  save  for  two  exceptions.  Both  the 
United  States  and  Great  Britain  closed  their  sec- 
tions each  Saturday  and  did  not  open  them  until 
Monday  morning — why  I  wonder? 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  157 

Israel  was  to  keep  the  Sabbaths  through- 
out Israel's  generations  and  'twas  a  sign  between 
Him  and  us  as  to  who  we  are. 

Well,  here  we  are,  the  only  people  on  earth 
(with  our  cousins,  the  Jews)  keeping  God's  Sab- 
bath! We  keep  the  day  of  the  risen  Lord  and 
the  Jews  who  do  not  believe  Christ  is  the  risen 
Lord  continue  keeping  the  old  Sabbath. 

By  that  brand  alone  we  are  Israel,  or  I  am 
a  Dutchman  and  do  not  know  how  to  reason  from 
promise  to  performance! 

Every  Sabbath  of  the  year  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church  all  over  the  United  States  of 
America  repeat  from  their  Prayer  Book  the 
Benedictus  or  Jubilate  Deo.  They  say  they  are 
God's  chosen  people,  Israel,  and  yet  some  of  their 
ministers  will,  I  am  certain,  be  heaving  half- 
bricks  my  way,  because  of  statements  taken  from 
the  Bible  to  explain  this.  As  I  have  lived  most 
of  my  life  on  a  diet  of  half -bricks,  I'm  certain  that 
a  few  extra  ones,  even  at  the  hands  of  my  friends 
the  parsons,  won't  do  me  much  harm,  and  the  ex- 
ercise may  do  them  some  good,  they  often  need  it. 

BENEDICTUS  REMARKS 

St.  Luke  Chap.  I.  Jesus    said    he    came    but    to    "the 

[68]     Blessed       be      the       lost  sheep   of  the  house  of   Israel" — 
Lord  God  of  Israel;  for       "my    heritage,"    "my    chosen,"     "my

BENEDICTUS 

[69]  And  hath  raised 
up  a  mighty  salvation  for 
us;  in  the  house  of  his 
servant  David; 


REMARKS 

Jesus  was  of  the  royal  seed  of 
David  and  was  raised  up  for  us  and 
has  been  our  salvation;  and  through 
us  the  whole  world  has  had  an  op- 
portunity for  salvation. 


The  ruling  house  of  Windsor  is  also 
descended  from  David's  seed  and  so 
belongs  to  the  House  and  Throne  of 
David. 


[70]  As  he  spake  by  the 
mouth  of  his  holy  pro- 
phets: which  have  been 
since  the  world  began; 


Every  prophecy  inspired  'by  God 
has  or  wiU  come  true  at  its  ordained 
time. 


[71]  That  we  should  be 
saved  from  our  enemies: 
and  from  the  hand  of  all 
that  hate  us. 


As  we  have  been.  This  has  been 
made  true  down  through  the  ages. 
November  11,  1918,  was  one  recent 
example  of  hundreds.  The  hand  of 
those  vrho  hate  us  has  never  suc- 
ceeded in  downing  God's  "battle 
axe"  and  His  servants. 


[72]  To  perform  the 
mercy  promised  to  our 
forefathers:  and  to  re- 
member his  Holy  cove- 
nant ; 


Have  we  carried  out  our  part  after 
being  saved  from  our  enemies?  Have 
we  remembered  the  Covenant  God 
made  with  our  forefathers?  I  doubt 
it! 


[73]  To  perform  the 
oath  which  he  swore  to 
our  forefather  Abraham: 
that  he  would  give  us; 


Every  item  i)r()miscd  by  any  of  the 
prophets  has  been  fulfilled.  Man- 
asseh  (U.S.A.),  forgetfulness,  has 
left  undone  much;  they  do  however 
take  on  high  ideals  quicker  than  any 
of  the  other  Anglo-Saxon-Celtic 
nations.  The  British  flag  to-day 
floats  over  all  the  land  given  to 
Abraham  and  Israel  by  a  Covenant. 


[74-]  That  we  being  de- 
livered out  of  the  hand 
of  our  enemies:  might 
serve  him   without   fear;

BENEDICTUS 

[75]  In  holiness  and 
rigMeousness  before  him: 
all  the  days  of  our  life. 

[76]  And  thou,  child, 
shalt  be  called  the  pro- 
phet of  the  Highest:  for 
thou  shalt  go  before  the 
face  of  the  Lord  to  pre- 
pare his  ways; 

[77]  To  give  knowledge 
of  salvation  unto  his 
people  for  the  remission 
of  their  sins. 

[78]  Through  the  ten- 
der mercy  of  our  God: 
whereb)^  the  day-spring 
[or  light]  from  on  high 
hath  visited  us   [Israel]; 


[79]  To  give  light  to 
them  that  sit  in  darkness, 
and  in  the  shadow  of 
death:  and  to  guide  our 
feet  into  the  way  of 
peace. 


REMARKS 

Are   we   doing  our  best   along  this 
line? 


John  the  Baptist  who  preached 
repentance  as  the  first  step  in  the 
knowledge   of   salvation. 


All  Anglo-Saxondom  and  most  of 
the  world  have  had  this  knowledge 
given  them  through  his  10  servants 
Israel  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  breeds. 

Christ  said  he  came  but  to  the 
"lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel." 
He  was  the  light  that  through  Israel 
was  to  lighten  the  whole  world.  And 
he  left  his  Kingdom  on  earth  in 
charge  of  his  ten  servants  the  Ten 
Tribes  until  He  should  come  again.  See 
I.iike  19:  verses  12,  13.  The  light  has 
shone  through  Israel  and  over  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth. 

Goodness  knows  the  world  that 
sits  in  darkness  as  to  the  Creator's 
plan  has  much  need  of  redemption 
through  His  executives  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  nations,  His  servant  Israel 
and  the  seed  of  David  who  are  to 
rule  until  Christ  comes  again,  this 
time  to  take  the  Kingdom. 


If  this  Book  of  Common  Prayer  is  also  a 
book  of  common  sense,  it  must  mean  what  it  says. 
Why  say  we  will  be  saved  from  all  our  enemies 
— which  was  promised  only  to  Israel — if  we  are 
not  Israel?  Parsons,  long-haired  and  short  are 
invited  to  answer   that  question   the   next   time 


160  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

they  repeat  the  Benedictus  to  their  congregations. 

Never  in  the  world's  history  has  there 
been  such  a  need  for  divine  guidance  to  guide 
our  feet  into  the  way  of  peace  as  in  this  year  1921 
A.D. 

When  we  had  our  hack  to  the  wall  in  the 
spring  of  1918,  wiien  Germany  was  making  her 
final  thrust  to  dominate  this  world,  materially, 
politically  and  religiously,  every  Anglo-Saxon 
nation,  colony  or  settlement  (all  Israel)  got  on 
their  knees  in  prayer  and  humiliation  before  the 
Supreme  Ruler  of  this  universe  and  admitting 
their  sins  and  shortcomings,  asked  for  divine 
guidance  and  strength  to  win  through, — as  you 
did  in  Abraham  Lincoln's  time. 

We  M^on  through  and  I've  often  since  won- 
dered how  many  people  really  recognize  who  won 
the  war.  Every  nation  secretly  thinks  it  was  the 
big  factor,  but  surely  it  was  the  God  of  Israel! 
God  used  our  nations  as  His  battle  axe  and 
weapons  of  war,  and  through  His  help  we  finally 
won  the  war  while  the  politicians  of  your  country 
and  Britain  have  lost  us  the  peace. 

Read  Isaiah;  its  all  good  and  its  so  hard 
to  pick  from  the  many,  many  references  one  that 
is  better  than  the  rest!  Take  the  49th  Chapter 
for  instance: 

1.  "Listen,  0  isles,  nnto  nie  [tlie  Brith-ish  or 
Covenant  Isles]  ;  and  hearken,  ye  people,  from  far" 
[U.S.A.,  Australia,  New  Zealand,  Canada,  South 
Africa,  etc.,  all  "from  far."] 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  161 

3.  "Thou  art  my  servant,  0  Israel,  in  whom  I 
will  be  glorified. 

6.  "I  will  also  give  thee  [Israel]  for  a  light  to 
the  Gentiles,  that  thou  mayest  be  my  salvation  unto 
the  end  of  the  earth." 

Well,  who  have  been  the  peoples  to  carry 
the  light,  God's  laws  and  commandments  and 
light,  to  the  Gentiles  and  to  the  ends  of  the  earth? 
God's  servants,  Israel,  were  to  do  it.  The  Anglo- 
Saxons  alone  have  done  it,  therefore,  the  Anglo- 
Saxons  are  Israel.  Note  in  Chapter  VII.  where 
the  Protestant  missionary  societies  have  almost 
100,000  missionaries  and  helpers  working.  Brit- 
ain and  her  offspring  are  doing  what  Israel  was 
to  do,  therefore  Britain,  America,  Australia, 
Canada,  Newfoundland,  New  Zealand,  South  Af- 
rica and  the  other  Anglo-Saxon  Celtic  communi- 
ties the  world  over  are  God's  chosen  people. 
His  instruments,  Israel,  which  means  ''ruling  with 
God."*  They  have  a  divine  commission  and  the 
specifications  are  interwoven  throughout  both 
the  Old  and  the  New^  Testaments,  that  the  wise 
who  search  the  Scriptures  may  understand.  Had 
the  Anglo-Saxons  the  world  round  made  a  proper 
job  of  "searching  the  Scriptures"  as  they  were 
instructed  to  do,  they  would  be  wise  on  how  to 
deal  with  all  the  problems  that  now  afflict  the 
world.  What  would  that  be  worth  in  dollars  and 
cents  to  America  in  this  1921st  year  of  our  Lord? 
How  much?    What  would  you  give  to  know  how

162  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

business  prospects  were  going  to  pan  out  for  the 
next  five,  ten  or  fifteen  years'? 

There  are  hundreds  of  statements  made 
•ab'out  Israel  in  the  Bible,  and  no  nation  or  assort- 
ment of  nations  other  than  the  Anglo-Saxon- 
Celtic  nations  can  fulfill  or  have  fulfilled  the 
prophecies  laid  down,  and  I  know  of  no  single 
instance  of  a  prophecy  about  Israel  that  the 
Anglo-Saxon  people  can  not  and  do  not  fill  to 
the  very  letter. 

Let  us  take  for  instance  this  statement  of 
the  prophet  Isaiah,  born  about  778  B.C.: 

"Thus  saith  the  Lord,  in  an  acceptable  time  have 
I  heard  thee  [Israel],  and  in  a  day  of  salvation  have 
I  helped  thee :  and  I  will  preserve  thee,  and  give  thee 
for  a  covenant  of  the  people,  to  establish  the  earth, 
to  cause  to  inherit  the  desolate  heritages."  (Isa.  49:8.) 

If  ever  a  nation  was  helped  when  they 
sought  salvation,  surely  it  has  been  our  fore- 
fathers of  Brith-ish  or  covenant  stock ;  and  Israel 
has  been  preserved  and  given  for  **a  covenant 
of  the  people,  to  establish  the  earth,  and  to  cause 
to  inherit  the  desolate  heritages." 

I  take  the  following  facts  from  Whittaker's 
Almanac  for  1920  to  establish  the  fact  that  this 
promise  to  Israel  has  been  fulfilled  up  to  date 
and  is  still  going  strong. 

Americans  feel  proud  of  their  flag.  Old 
Glory,  and  they  do  well!  But  what  aliout  their 
''Older  Glory,"  the  flag  that  braved  a  thousand

years  the  battle  and  the  breeze,  the  glorious 
Union  Jack?  To-day  it  proudly  floats  over  the 
following  countries,  in  Europe,  Asia,  Africa,  Aus- 
tralia, and  Canada,  as  a  visible  evidence  that  the 
British  (Ephraim)  section  of  Israel  is  carrying 
out  her  God-given  covenant  to  establish  the  earth, 
however  imperfectly, — still  no  other  nation  is  do- 
ing it  so  well,  and  we  may  well  remember  that 
there  is  nothing  perfect  under  the  sun  and  even 
it  is  alleged  to  have  spots  on  it!

Quite  a  list  for  the  Mother  of  Free  Parlia- 
ments to  take  on  in  a  few  hundred  years  since 
she  began  to  settle  the  waste  places  of  the  earth ! 

What  glorious  comment  on  Brith-ish  or 
Covenant  rule  was  presented  to  the  world  when 
His  Majesty  Our  King  and  Governor  in  1915 
sent  out  a  call  for  more  men!  By  hundreds  of 
thousands,  aye  by  millions  they,  like  the  disciples 
of  old,  dropped  everything  and  followed  the  call 
to  save  the  world  from  the  forces  of  evil  bent  on 
destroying  with  fire  and  sword  that  human  free- 
dom which  the  Anglo-Saxon  civilization  had 
through  centuries  been  the  means  of  preserving 
and  building  up. 

Behind  our  front  lines  where  civilized 
methods  of  burial  could  prevail,  every  British 
soldier,  from  Tommy  to  the  topmost  general  who 
lost  his  life  in  the  cause,  wrapped  in  his  army 
blanket  was  taken  to  the  cemetery  under  the  folds 
of  that  grand  old  banner,  the  British  Ensign,  for 
Christian  burial;  and  to-day  their  bodies  lie  in 
thousands,  row  on  row,  while  they  rest  in  God  in 
peace,  and  their  rest  shall  be  glorious. 


166  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

IN  FLANDERS'  FIELDS. 

(Written  by  Col.  John  McCrea  of  Guelph, 

Ontario,  Canada,  Serving  in 
France,  1917.) 
In  Flanders'  fields  the  poppies  blow 

Between  the  crosses,  row  on  row, 
That  mark  our  place,  and  in  the  sky 

The  larks  still  bravely  singing  fly, 
Scarce  heard  amid  the  guns  below. 

We  are  the  dead.    Short  days  ago 
We  lived,  felt  dawn,  saw  sunset  glow. 

Loved  and  were  loved,  and  now  we  lie 
In  Flanders'  fields. 

Take  up  the  quarrel  with  the  foe 

To  you,  from  falling  hands  we  throw 

The  Torch — be  yours  to  hold  it  high. 

If  3"e  break  faith  with  us  who  die 

We  shall  not  sleep  though  poppies  grow 
In  Flanders'  fields. 

AMERICA'S  ANSWER. 
(Written  by  R.  W.  Lillard  and  appeared 

in  the  New  York  Eventing  Post.) 
Rest  ye  in  peace,  ye  Flanders'  dead, 

The  fight  that  ye  so  bravely  lead 
We've  taken  up.    And  we  will  keep 

True  faith  with  you  who  lie  asleep 
With  each  a  cross  to  mark  his  bed 

And  poppies  blowing  overhead 
Wliere  once  his  own  life  blood  ran  red 
In  Flanders'  fields. 

Fear  not  that  ye  have  died  for  naught 

The  Torch  ye  threw  to  us  is  caught 

Ten  million  hands  will  hold  it  high ; 

And  freedom's  light  shall  never  die. 

We've  learned  the  lesson  that  ye  taught 
In  Flanders'  fields. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  167 

Thus  did  the  souls  of  millions  from  the 
land  of  Brother  Jonathan  respond  to  the  appeal 
of  the  little  poem  "In  Flanders'  Fields,"  whose 
author  later  gave  his  life  in  the  cause. 

Did  you  ever  read  Isaiah  11 :  12  and  wonder 
whether  that  ensign  was  the  British  ensign? 
The  King  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  and  of 
the  Brith-ish  Dominions  beyond  the  seas,  Em- 
peror of  India,  is  clearly  of  the  seed  of  David  as 
is  proved  in  Britain  an  Enduring  Dynasty  by 
Milner,  and  the  ensign  which  that  root  of 
Jesse  floats  is  the  Union  Jack.  To  it  the  Gentiles  do 
seek  in  Palestine  and  do  rest  under  its  folds. 
Britain  first  and  later  America  have  been  a  haven 
of  rest  for  the  oppressed  of  all  the  Gentile  na- 
tions. "And  his  rest  shall  be  glorious."  Peace 
in  Britain  has  been  proverbial  for  centuries.  'Tis 
a  bit  unsettled  at  present,  but  even  at  that,  Bri- 
tain is  more  settled  than  any  other  nation,  with 
the  possible  exception  of  the  United  States  of 
America.

And  he  shall  set  up  an  ensign  And  then  He   will  raise  up  a

way:  Firstly,  the  British  when  they  took  pos- 
session of  the  Holy  Land  and  City  hoisted  their 
ensign;  and  under  the  freedom  of  its  folds  all 
classes  of  heathen  and  nationalities  are  collect- 
ing for  protection,  and  for  rest  from  the  persecu- 
tions under  the  Turkish,  Russian  and  other  flags. 
Secondly,  the  Jews  are,  representatively,  hiking 
back  to  the  Holy  Land  from  the  four  corners  of 
the  earth  and  under  a  Governor  from  Israel,  Sir 
Herbert  Samuels ;  and  they  will  continue  to  come 
until  the  Holy  Land  will  again  blossom  as  the 
rose,  as  was  predicted  three  thousand  years  ago. 
It  may  not  be  amiss  to  point  out  that  the 
first  national  flag  of  the  United  States  was  called 
''The  Grand  Union"  and  carried  the  Union  Jack 
in  the  upper  corner  as  does  the  Canadian,  Aus- 
tralian, New  Zealand  and  other  Anglo-Saxon 
nations.  This  flag  was  composed  of  thirteen 
stripes  of  alternate  white  and  red,  one  for  each 
British  colony,  and  in  the  upper  corner  was  the 
British  Union  Jack  of  that  period  displaying  the 
two  crosses  of  St.  George  and  St.  Andrews,  as 
introduced  in  1707. 

"This  American  Grand  Union  flag  was  raised  by 
Washino^ton  over  the  camp  of  his  Army  at  Cam- 
bridge, Mass.,  on  January  1st,  1776,  to  the  accom- 
panying sahite  of  thirteen  guns. 

"By  this  flag  the  13  colonies  testified  that  though 
in  arms,  they  still  claimed  to  be  Britons  and  were  de- 
manding for  themselves  all  the  rights  of  citizenship 
which  such  relation  conferred." 


The   first    Anserican   flag   called   the    "Grand    Union",    hoisted    by 

Washingfton  over  his  camp. 

(The  colors  being  red,  white  and   Ijliie).

June  14th,  1777,  that  a  new  national  flag  was  fully 
developed.*

business  men,  individually;  and  the  nation,  na- 
tionally. America  will  have  to  buck  the  line  in- 
stead of  crawling  under  the  barn  when  asked  to 
take  a  few  shares  of  Israel's  burden  in  desolate 
places  like  Armenia.  America's  commission  was 
not  to  live  to  itself  alone.  Read  Matthew  25  and 
note  verses  31  and  32  particularly : 

"When  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his  glory 

Before  him  shall  be  gathered  all  nations : 

and  he  shall  separate  them  one  from  another,  as  a 
shepherd  divideth  his  sheep  from  the  goats." 

America's  national  stand  during  the  next 
fifteen  years  will  be  decisive  in  more  ways  than 
one.  It's  up  to  you,  gentlemen!  You  have  had 
the  wealth  of  the  mine,  the  forest,  the  sea  and 
the  fertile  earth  all  at  your  command  and  you 
will  have  to  give  an  account  of  your  stewardship ; 
because  God  has  given  you  His  plan  to  work  to, 
which  covers  all  the  details  you  would  require 
during  your  lifetime,  even  if  you  lived  to  be  a 
hundred,  and  shows  how  you  were  to  invest  and 
how  you  were  to  spend  the  talents — golden  ones — 
He  put  in  your  way. 

The  "kingdom"  spoken  of  in  verse  34  will 
be  right  here  on  earth.  In  that  day  how  many 
of  your  citizens  and  ours  will  wish  they  had  spent 
their  time,  their  energies  and  their  magnificient 
organizing  ability,  as  did  that  prince  in  America's

section  of  Israel,  Herbert  Hoover,  clothing  the 
naked  and  feeding  the  poor? — while  your  and 
our  profiteers  were  profiting  on  the  most  urgent 
needs  of  humanity  (and  this  includes  Labor 
Unions' wage  profiteers)  during  the  war.  Hoover 
and  the  type  he  represents  were  all  giving  their 
time  for  world  service,  which  is  our  job,  because 
Israel  was  to  break  and  has  broken  the  back  of 
every  menace  to  liberty  that  has  threatened  the 
world  for  hundreds  of  years  and  Hoover  and 
others  in  more  humble  positions  will  get  the  re- 
wards for  such  princely  service  ''to  the  least  of 
these." 

Say,  reader,  if  you  want  to  get  in  on  a 
good  thing,  in  on  the  ground  floor  of  a  good  thing, 
a  better  one  than  any  stockbroker  you  know  can 
put  you  next  to,  just  read  the  Bible  through ;  and 
every  time  you  see  Israel  mentioned  in  its  dis- 
patches, just  say,  "That's  we-uns"  or  "us-all" 
and  just  note  the  job  or  work  given  to  Israel, 
both  the  Manasseh  (U.S.A.)  and  Ephraim  (Eng- 
lish) sections,  and  particularly  note  what  is  due 
for  the  next  fifteen  years  to  Britain  and  to  Ameri- 
ca, as  you  are  going  to  be  in  it  up  to  the  neck. 

Harvey  0.  Higgins  asks  in  March 
McClures  "Is  there  something  wrong  with  the 
American  Mind?"  There  most  certainly  is, 
Harvey!  but  your  dissecting  knife  did  not  re- 
move it.  The  Soul  of  America  knows  more  than 
the  reasoning  mind  of  America  can  either   see 


172  TPIE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

or  understand.  America's  Soul  was  in  seething 
unrest  while  for  two  years  you  were  cautioned  to 
be  neutral  in  thought,  word  and  deed.  How  free 
you  felt  the  day  your  first  citizen  declared  Amer- 
ica at  war  with  Germany!  The  fetters  binding 
America's  Soul  burst  their  bonds  and  freed  the 
liberty-loving  spirit  they  had  in  thrall.  We  at 
the  Front,  three  to  four  thousand  miles  away,  in 
spirit  saw  your  shackles  broken  off  and  were  glad, 
but  no  more  happy  than  were  the  millions  of 
Americans  who  had  scarcely  been  able  to  look 
your  brother  Canadians,  Britons,  and  Frenchmen 
in  the  eye  because  they  were  saving  the  world 
for  America  as  much  as  they  were  for  Canada, 
Britain  or  France  and  they  and  you  knew  it. 

To-day  America's  Soul  is  again  filled  with 
unrest,  and  Dr.  O'Higgins  prods  the  patient  in 
the  back,  in  the  front,  in  this  corner  and  in  that 
and  asks  is  the  pain  here  or  there,  and  finally 
with  a  flourish  he  shouts:  ''I  have  it!  It's  the 
effect  of  your  Pilgrim  Forefathers'  'repression 
and  Soul  fear'  that  still  sticks  in  the  fifty-five 
per  cent,  of  Americans  descended  from  the  Puri- 
tans!" I  wonder  if  he  is  right?  Not  being  a 
doctor  or  even  a  chiropractor,  one  hesitates  to 
say;  but  being  a  Roadbuilder,  one  is  not  afraid 
to  hazard  a  guess  that  the  Soul  of  America  knows 
more  than  its  politicians  understand.  If  Dr. 
O'Higgins  is  correct,  he  has  only  touched  the 
fringe  of  the  cause,  because  back  of  your  Pilgrim 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  173 

Puritan  forefathers  are  your  Brith-ish  fore- 
fathers, and  back  of  them  are  your  Israel  fore- 
fathers until  you  go  back  back  to  Joseph,  Jacob, 
Isaac  and  Abraham,  who  was  God's  friend,  a 
friend  willing  to  go  wherever  God  directed. 

The  Soul  of  America,  in  my  opinion,  is 
troubled,  because  since  the  Armistice,  your  ideals 
(and  no  nation  has  had  higher  ones)  have  been 
temporarily  scrapped  and  you  apparently  have 
had  no  Washington,  no  Lincoln,  no  Roosevelt  to 
point  the  way  in  clear  unmistakable  tones  and  lead 
the  nation  towards  its  real  goal. 

France  was  the  friend  of  America  at  the 
time  of  America's  greatest  need!  America  stood 
silent  for  years,  while  France  bled  at  every  pore 
in  saving  the  world  from  destruction,  before 
General  John  Pershing  stood  in  France  beside  the 
monument  of  that  noble  Frenchman  who  fought 
for  America  and  saluting  it  said,  ''Lafayette,  we 
are  here!" 

France  spent  almost  everything  she  had; 
one  and  a  half  millions  of  her  citizen  soldiers  lie 
buried  along  her  battle-front  from  Ostend  to 
Switzerland.  Her  maimed  and  wounded  by  the 
ten  thousands  still  fill  her  hospitals. 

To-day  Germany  is  winning  the  peace  by 
the  same  bare-faced  trickery  her  Von  Bernstorfs 
and  Von  Papens  practiced  in  the  United  States 
during  the  war,  and  what  is  America  doing  to 
help  her  friend  of  yesterday,  France? 


174  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

France  owes  America  some  dollars  for 
shells  used  to  protect  your  homes  as  well  as  hers. 

America  owes  France  the  lives  of  the  mil- 
lion and  a  half  of  her  citizen  soldiers,  which 
France  spent  to  make  safe  the  world.  America 
proposes  to  collect  her  dollars.  Will  she 
REPAY   France  her  lives  spent  in  this  world 

CAUSE  ? 

If  the  Soul  of  America  was  not  restless 
and  unsettled  under  such  a  condition  Hw^ere  al- 
most useless  to  have  souls. 

If  America  and  Britain  knew  what  the  law 
laid  down  by  God  in  his  National  Constitution, 
laws  and  statutes  for  all  Israel  nations  was,  they 
would  not  hesitate  for  a  day  as  to  the  proper  and 
only  actions  to  take  in  this  matter  of  debt.  Every 
Israelitish  debtor  had  to  be  released  every  seven 
years  and  the  debt  charged  up  to  God  who  gives 
his  word  that  He  will  repay  it ! 

Is  His  credit  good  in  America!  Does  '*in 
God  we  trust"  on  your  national  coins  to-day  mean 
what  it  says  I  If  it  does,  you  are  challenged  by 
God's  constitution  for  America  to  forego  all  in- 
terest, and  at  the  end  of  seven  years  the  principle, 
and  He  will  repay  it. 

God  promises  such  an  outpouring  of  His 
spirit  when  Israel  sees  and  believes  God's  plan 
for  world  redemption  that  they  will  become  a 
nation  of  priests,  when  no  longer  will  it  be  neces- 
sary for  a  preacher  to  say,  ''Know  the  Lord," 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  175 

because  all  shall  know  Him,  from  the  least  to 
the  greatest. 

America's  Soul  knows  that  this  is  in  the 
offing  and  will  be  unsettled  and  restless  until  she 
is  doing  her  share  to  make  God's  Kingdom  on 
earth  kno\Mi  to  all  the  world  and  especially  in  the 
home  acres  where  the  Bible  containing  God's  in- 
structions and  prophecies  is  a  much  unread  book 
to  the  old  families  raised  here  for  generations  as 
well  as  to  the  many  who  have  swarmed  into  the 
country. 

America's  eyes  as  well  as  Britain's  eyes 
are  to  be  opened,  so  it's  up  to  you  to  personally 
rustle  and  get  on  to  your  job  and  study  the  plans 
laid  dowm  by  Almighty  God,  from  whom  Abraham 
Lincoln  and  George  Washington  sought  help  and 
from  whom  they  received  the  wisdom  and  judg- 
ment they  possessed,  and  they  humbly  walked 
with  God,  thus  seeking  His  aid  and  receiving  it 
in  due  measure.

11.  America's  place  is  alongside  of  Britain,  Can- 

ada, Australia,  South  Africa,  et  al,  in  the 
War  of  Armageddon. 

12.  The  Kaiser's    sister    wondered    what    they 

would  do  with  ''Poor  Wilhelm". 

13.  Armageddon  plainly  set  out  in  the  Bible.  We 

are  heading  for  it  now. 


CHAPTER  IX 

In  1879  Rev.  Joseph  Wild,  then  preaching 
in  Brooklyn,  N.Y.,  published  a  book.  The  Lost  Ten 
Tribes  of  Israel,  in  which  he  predicted  the  break- 
up of  Russia  within  fifty  years,  the  taking  of  Jer- 
usalem and  Palestine  from  Turkey  and  the  giving 
of  it  to  the  Jews  for  a  national  home. 

This  student  of  Israel  about  that  time  had 
also  predicted  that  the  United  States  of  America 
would  help  Britain  in  her  next  war  with  Egypt; 
though  at  the  time  most  U.S.A.  politicians  were 
so  busy  twisting  the  old  lion's  tail  and  kicking  it 
in  the  ribs,  almost  without  provocation  save  to 
secure  the  Irish  vote,  that  anyone  who  predicted 
that  they  would  work  together  was  considered 
more  kinds  of  a  fool  than  is  permissible  to  put  in 
print. 

When  1882  came  around  and  the  world  saw 
with  surprise  and  some  nations  with  deep  resent- 
ment, that  an  American  fleet  did  help  the  British 
fleet  at  Alexandria,  Egypt,  my  Scotch  instinct 
and  reason  told  me  that  the  Reverend  Doctor's 
dope  along  prophetic  lines  was  good  stuff  and 
proved  to  me  the  value  of  the  Bible  prophecies.

THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  179 

A  certain  merry-eyed,  dimpled-clieeked 
young  lady  attended  the  Reverend  Dr.  Wild's 
church  each  evening,  and  I  soon  found  my  unat- 
tached feet  straying  thitherward  not,  I  am  afraid, 
for  the  sole  purpose  of  absorbing  spiritual  truths, 
but  for  the  pleasure  of  walking  home  with  the 
aforementioned  dimples  in  the  twilight. 

However,  I  did  absorb  Bible  facts  that  have 
never  left  me;  though  I  am  afraid  I  have  not 
always  made  the  best  use  of  them,  as  I  am  just  an 
ordinary  everyday  sinner  like  yourself,  without  as 
yet,  my  wife  says,  any  sign  of  sprouting  wings — 
and  believe  me,  she  knows ! 

When  the  South  African  war  was  at  its 
height,  I  was  much  disturbed  at  the  outlook  after 
the  Boers  *'did  in"  General  Buller's  army  and  his 
reports  came  trickling  through  time  after  time: 
**I  regret  to  report."  I  remember  asking  Dr. 
Wild  if  Britain  was  going  to  lose  South  Africa. 
*'No  Sir!  She  will  win.  Great  Britain  is  only  to 
lose  one  of  her  offspring,  according  to  the  Bible, 
and  she  lost  that  a  hundred  years  and  more  ago 
when  Manasseh  (U.S.A.)  section  set  up  in  national 
business  for  themselves  as  had  been  foretold.  Its 
not  on  the  cards,"  he  said,  ''that  Great  Britain 
will  lose  another  Colony."  And  she  didn't, 
though  at  that  time  not  a  nation  the  world  round 
seemed  to  be  her  friend,  and  the  Kaiser,  with 
almost  Satanic  glee,  cabled  his  congratulations  to 


180  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

that  great  Boer  leader,  Paul  Krnger,  on  his  suc- 
cess. 

Here  are  some  messages  the  Prophet  Isaiah 
addressed  to  the  Brith  Colony  in  Brith-ain,  which 
colony  had  been  there  many,  many  hundreds  of 
years  when  he  sent  this  epistle  to  them  about  712 
B.C.,  and  they  would  be  as  well  known  in  the  Home 
acres  as  is  Alaska  known  to  Washington  to-day, 
because  of  the  unending  commerce  between  them. 

49 :1.  "Listen,  0  isles  [the  British  or  Covenant 
Isles],  unto  me;  and  hearken,  ye  people,  from  far  [the 
Americans,  Canadians,  Australians,  New  Zealanders, 
South  Africans,  etc.]. 

3,  "Thou  art  my  servant,  0  Israel,  in  whom  I 
will  be  glorified.  [In  the  Anglo-Saxon  nations,  God's 
name  has  been  glorified  down  through  the  centuries.] 

8.  "Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  an  acceptable  time 
have  I  heard  thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation  have  I 
helped'  thee :  and  I  will  preserve  thee,  and  give  thee 
for  a  covenant  of  the  people,  to  establish  the  earth,  to 
cause  to  inherit  the  desolate  heritages; 

The  Anglo-Saxon  Celts  have  inherited  the 
earth — the  last  war  pitched  a  hundred  and  fifty 
million  heathen  into  IMother  Britain's  lap  and 
made  her  responsible  for  their  up-bringing.  What 
a  white  man 's  burden ! 

9.  "That  thou  ma.yest  say  to  the  prisoners,  Go 
forth ;  to  them  that  are  in  darkness,  Shew  yourselves. 
They  shall  feed  in  the  ways,  and  their  pastures  shall 
be  in  all  high  places. 

12.  "Behold,  these  shall  come  from  far:  and,  lo, 
these  from  the  north  and  from  the  west;  and  these 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  181 

from  the  land  of  Sinim  [South — The  Vulgate  has  it 
Australi]. 

59 :18.  "According-  to  their  deeds,  accordingly 
he  will  repay,  fury  to  his  adversaries,  recompense  to 
his  enemies;  to  the  islands  he  will  repay  recompense." 
[Brith-ain  of  the  Islands  has  been  recompensed  for  her 
work  among  the  lesser  breeds  without  the  Law]. 

60:9.  "Surely  the  isles  shall  wait  for  me,  and 
the  ships  of  Tarshish  first,  to  bring  thy  sons  from  far, 
their  silver  and  their  gold  with  them,  unto  the  name 
of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  to  the  Holy  One  of  Israel, 
'because  he  hath  glorified  thee. 

12.  "For  the  nation  and  kingdom  that  will  not 
serve  thee  [Israel]  shall  perish;  yea,  those  nations 
shall  be  utterly  wasted." 

Tlie  "isles"  referred  to  are  the  British 
Isles  from  which  sailed  the  ships  of  Tarshish  as 
is  shown  by  Rev.  Dr.  Wm.  H.  Poole  in  his  book 
Anglo-Israel,  published  in  1882,  now  out  of  print, 
from  which  I  quote  the  following  data  on  Tar- 
shish : 

"Tarshish  was  a  name  given  to  one  of  Noah's 
grandchildren.  Gen.  10 :4.  'And  the  sons  of  Javan, 
Elishah,  and  Tarshish,  Kittim,  and  Dodanim.'  It  was 
the  custom  in  those  early  days  to  name  the  country 
after  the  person  who  was  the  owner  or  ruler  or  chief. 
'By  these  (persons  named)  were  the  Islands  of  the 
Gentiles  divided  in  their  lands.'  To  Tarshish  was 
given  the  west  coast  of  Europe  and  that  country  was 
so  named  i  ?  may  be  seen  upon  ancient  maps,  several 
of  which  I  have  before  me.  Upon  one  of  these  very 
ancient  maps  England  is  called  Javan. 

"The  Rev.  James  Mcintosh,  curate,  sa.y-s  'Tarshish 
when  resolved  into  its  elements  is — 'tar'  a  border  of 
fringe  round  about  and  'shish'  bright,  shiny,  white 


182  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  means  the  land  is  white  or  bright  round  about 
which  is  the  name  given  to  England  from  the  white- 
ness of  its  cliffs  on  the  southern  coast.  No  name  more 
fitly  describes  England  to  those  early  traders  coming 
northward  to  Britain  from  the  Bay  of  Biscay.' 

"In  2  Chron.  9:21:  "For  the  king's  [Solomon's] 
ships  went  to  Tarshish  with  the  servants  of  Huram : 
every  three  years  once  come  the  ships  of  Tarshish 
bringing  gold,  and  silver,  ivory,  and  apes,  and  pea- 
cocks. 

"In  Ezek.  27  :12,  19  :  "Tarshish  was  thy  merchant 
by  reason  of  the  multitude  of  all  kind  of  riches;  with 
silver,  iron,  tin,  and  lead,  they  traded  in  thy  fairs. 

"  'Dan  also  and  Javan  going  to  and  fro  occupied 
in  thy  fairs:  bright  iron,  cassia  and  calamus,  were  in 
thy  market.' 

"And  in  I  Kings  10  :22  :  'For  the  king  had  at  sea 
a  navy  of  Tharshish  with  the  navy  of  Hiram :  once 
in  three  years  came  the  navy  of  Tharshish,  bringing 
gold,  and  silver,  ivory,  and  apes,  and  peacocks.'  " 

Tj^re  was  the  great  trading  empormm  in 
those  days,  and  the  bright  iron,  tin,  and  lead  from 
Cornwall  were  apparently  the  heaviest  cargo 
brought  by  the  ''navy  of  Tharshish"  and  Sol- 
omon's ships,  both  of  which  were  used  in  the  com- 
merce carried  on  between  Tyre  and  Tarshish. 

In  the  66tli  Chapter  of  Isaiah,  Tarshish  is 
mentioned  in  a  manner  confirming  the  above  view. 

Verse  19.  "And  I  will  set  a  sign  among  them, 
and  I  will  send  those  that  escape  of  them  unto  the 
nations,  to  Tarshish,  Pul,  and  Lud,  that  draw  the  bow, 
to  Tubal,  and  Javan,  to  the  isles  afar  off,  that  have 
not  heard  my  fame,  neither  have  seen  my  glorj^;  and 
they  shall  declare  my  glory  among  the  Gentiles." 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  183 

These  passages  make  it  clear  that  Tarshish 
was  a  long  way  from  Palestine  and  was  reached  by 
sea  route  north  and  west  and  that  Tarshish  and 
the  isles  afar  off  were  in  the  same  direction  and 
that  Tarshish  then,  as  now,  was  given  to  trade. 

''Isaiah  also  affirms  that  the  citizens  of  Tarshish 
did  not  worship  Jehovah  at  that  time  that  'They  had 
not  heard  my  fame,  neither  seen  my  glory:  and  also 
that  they  would,  in  future,  become  missionaries  to 
declare  my  glory  among  the  Gentiles.'  The  remnant 
df  Israel  were  sent  to  Tarshish  and  to  the  Isles  of  Tar- 
shish to  the  Isles  afar  off.  The  "escaped"  of  Israel 
and  the  "preserved"  of  Israel  were  sent  over  to  Tar- 
shish and  the  Lord  promised  them  four  things — the 
comely,  the  beautiful,  the  excellent  and  the  glorious." 

Have  not  the  promises  been  fulfilled  and 
have  not  the  Isles  been  world  missionaries  and  the 
means  of  declaring  God's  glory  among  the 
Gentiles  ?    The  only  answer  is  yes !  yes ! 

'^When  the  power  of  the  Medo-Persian  Empire 
was  broken  and  all  hindrances  removed,  the  commis- 
sion from  the  Lord  was  given  to  Israel,  Isa.  23  :6,  10 : 
'Pass  ye  over  to  Tarshish  ....  Pass  through  thy  land 
as  a  river,  0  daughter  of  Tarshish.' 

"They  could  now  go  as  a  river,  in  streams  (our 
historians  say  in  waves),  none  to  hinder  them,  so  they 
are  commanded  to  go  to  Tarshish.  They  went  in  a 
series  of  invasions.  Benjamin  the  last  tribe  going  over 
in  1066  making  the  Union  of  Jacob  complete  in  the 
Covenant  land  Brith-ain. 


184  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

"In  Psalms  72 :10 :  'The  kings  of  Tarshish  and  of 
the  isles  sliall  hring  presents  that  people  on  the  isles 
of  the  west  were  a  noble  and  generous  people  and  they 
still  run  true  to  form  as  every  calamity  the  world 
round  attests  in  this  day  and  generation." 

"Sir  Ed'ward  Cressey,  a  distinguished  Anti- 
quarian in  his  history  of  England  says :  'The  British 
tin  mines  mainly  supplied  the  glorious  adornment  of 
Solomon's  temple.' 

"  'Tarshish',  says  Hillier,  'was  the  west  coast  of 
Europe,  afterwards  called  Gaul  and  in  later  times 
Spain  -.nd  France  " 

"In  Ezekiel  27 :12  and  15  the  place  and  destiny 
of  the  ships  is  described  by  its  merchandise  and  its 
pursuits,  and  again  Tarshish  is  spoken  of  in  connec- 
tion with  the  trade  of  a  western  country.  Of  Tyre  is 
said  'Javan  was  thy  merchants  in  all  riches,  with 
silver,  iron,  tin  and  lead,  they  traded  in  thy  fair  and 
Dan  (Ireland)  is  here  associated  with  Javan  or  Eng- 
land." In  the  same  chapter  it  is  said,  verso  25 :  'The 
ships  of  Tarshish  did  sing  of  thee  in  thy  market  and 
thou  wast  replenished  and  made  very  glorious  in  the 
midst  of  the  seas.' 

"There  is  beauty  and  propriety  in  this  allusion  by 
the  prophet  to  the  sons  of  the  Hebrew  sailors  as  they 
made  the  name  of  Tyre  honored,  and  glorious,  away 
beyond  the  pillars  of  Hercules  (Gibraltar)  or  as 
viewed  from  Mount  Zion  it  would  seem  to  be  in  the 
midst  of  the  seas. 

"All  historians  knew  that  the  Western  Isles  sup- 
plied the  East  with  all  manner  of  elaborately  wrought 
metals,  of  gold  and  silver,  and  brass,  bright  iron  and 
tin. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  185 

"In  Homer,  Book  18,  a  free  translation  de- 
scribes the  smelting  operations  going  on  in  the 
foundries  on  the  Tarshish  Isles :  Homer  lived  about 
850  B.C."' 

'In  hissing  flames  huge  silver  bars  were  rolled 
Stubborn  brass  and  tin  and  solid  gold. 

A  darker  metal  intrenched  the  place 

And  piles  of  glittering  tin  the  enclosure  grace.* 


Homer  also  describes  the  soldiers'  coat  of 


arms 


'Ten  rows  of  azure  still  the  work  enfold 
Twice  ten  of  tin  and  twelve  of  ductile  gold.' 

Again : 

'The  shields  completed  vast  and  strong 

A  breastplate  dazzling  bright  as  flames  of  fire  forged 

And  next  a  weighty  helmet  for  his  head. 

Fair,  richl}-  wrought,  with  crests  of  gold : 
Then  last,  well  fitted  greaves  of  pliant  tin. 

Now  at  his  will,  and  as  the  work  required, 
The  stubborn  brass,  and  tin,  and  precious  gold 

And  silver  first  he  melted  in  the  fire.' 

Brith-ain,  at  this  early  date,  850  B.C.,  was 
the  ynanufacturing  centre  of  the  world,  y-et  your 
histories  and  ours  would  have  it  that  in  Caesar's 
time  we  were  skin-clad  barbarians.  Such  lying 
statements  are  easily  refuted  by  any  student  who 
takes  the  trouble  to  look  into  the  facts  as  pre- 
sented in  St.  Paul  in  Britain  and  histories  that 
gave  facts  instead  of  fiction  about  our  ancestors.* 

*St.    Paul    in    Britain,    by    Rev.    R.    W.    Morgan. 


186  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Britons  and  Bretons  have  always  been  the 
advance-guard  of  their  time  in  education,  mode  of 
living,  methods  of  doing  trade  as  well  as  in  all 
forms  of  culture. 

"The  Prophet  Jeremiah  9 :10,  might  well  say 
^Silver  spread  into  plates  was  brought  from  these 
islands.' " 

What  about  ivory,  apes  and  peacocks?  Did 
Britain  export  them?  Sure  she  did  in  the  same 
way  iron  merchants  now  export  their  iron  as 
'  *  pigs ' '  by  the  ton.    Dr.  Poole  says : 

"If  I  could  peep  into  the  ledgers  of  the  merchants 
of  Tarshish  who  spread  gold  and  silver  and  brass  and 
tin  into  plates  for  the  Eastern  markets,  I  would  find 
in  their  bills  of  sale  so  many  tons  of  Apes  and  Pea- 
cocks and  Lambs,  They  used  these  terms  as  we  now 
use  "Pigs"  in  the  iron  trade.  When  these  metals  are  in 
process  of  smelting  and  refining  they  give  a  fine  speci- 
men of  the  variegated  hues  of  the  Peacock's  plum- 
age and  in  certain  processes  of  preparation  they  were 
named  after  the  bird  whose  plumage  they  so  much 
resembled.  Three  thousand  years  hence  people  may 
wonder  that  in  our  day  gold  eagles  were  so  plentiful 
and  of  such  high  repute  among  us."  [Since  the  war 
"there  ain't  no  such  bird"  seen  in  commerce  or  ex- 
change!] 

"Aristotle  (384-322  B.C.)  wrote:  'Beyond  the 
pillars  of  Hercules  (Gibraltar)  the  ocean  flows  around 
the  earth.  In  this  ocean,  however,  there  are  Islands, 
and  those  are  very  large  and  are  called  Britannic, 
Albion  and  lerne,  which  are  larger  than  those  before 
named.    They  lie  beyond  the  Baltic  and  there  are  not 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  187 

a  few  small  islands  around  the  Britannic  Isles  and 
around  Iberia.' 

"Herodotus  484-425  B.C.  describing  the  tin 
Islands  in  the  West  of  Europe  says:  'The  tin  came 
from  Cornwall,  which,  when  mixed  with  copper,  form- 
ed the  well-known  Bronze  of  the  early  times.' 

"Diodorus  says:  'Tin  and  bright  iron  were 
brought  into  Gaul  from  the  Western  Isles  620  years 
before  Christ.' 

"Pliny  says :  'The  whole  of  the  Roman  Empire 
was  supplied  with  metals  and  tin  from  Britannia.  He 
says  Greece  too  was  supplied  mth  tin  and  sundry 
metals  from  the  same  source  907  B.C.' 

"Strabo,  born  63  B.C.,  informs  us  of  a  Phoenician 
captain  who  destroj'cd  a  rival  ship  rather  than  let  the 
crew  know  where  Tarshish  was  or  how  to  land  their 
vessels  at  Tarshish. 

"To  Javan  was  given  the  Brith  (or  covenant) 
Isles.  Those  Isles  on  the  ancient  maps  and  in  the 
Bible  are  called  Isles  of  the  West  and  Isles  of  Tar- 
shish. To  Javan's  two  sons,  Tarshish  and  Kittim,  was 
given  the  Western  Coast  of  Europe,  Spain,  Portugal, 
and  France. 

"Xenophon,  who  wrote  100  years  later  than 
Ezekiel,  described  one  of  those  ships  of  Tarshish 
starting  for  Gades,  which  is  Latin  for  Cadiz,  on  the 
Atlantic  coast  of  Spain." 

These  and  dozens  of  other  references  show 
thai  Spain,  Portugal  and  France  were  called  Tar- 
shish and  that  the  Isles  of  Tarshish  were  the  ad- 
joining British  Islands.    Having  gotten  that  key 


188  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

in  your  right  hand  you  are  now  in  a  position  to 
unlock  doors  that  have  puzzled  Bible  students 
without  it,  for  ages.  Now  take,  for  instance, 
Armageddon,  that  great  war  which  America  and 
the  world  has  still  to  fight. 

I  was  much  interested  recently  listening  to 
that  great  war  correspondent  and  student  of  past 
and  current  events  in  Euiope,  Sir  Philip  Gibbs,  a 
typical  Englishman,  quiet,  thoughtful,  self-effac- 
ing, delivering  a  lecture  "without  a  superlative, 
almost  without  emphasis,  and  without  flam- 
buoyancy" — the  kind  that  we  all  so  much  enjoy, 
and  some  of  us  wish  we  could  imitate ;  but  we  re- 
gretfully realize  that,  like  British  laAvns,  it  takes 
time  and  education  to  grow  that  sort. 

Well,  Sir  Philip  said  there  were  still  two 

chances  for  war  within  ten  years,  one  w^as  by  a 

union  of  Russia  and  Germany,  and  the  other  by  an 

alliance  between  Russia  and  the  Mohammedans. 

For  the  information  of  Sir  Philip  Gibbs  and  any 

others  who  may  desire  same,  it  may  be  mentioned 

that  the  Bible  says  that  Russia  will  take  advantage 

of  both  these  unions,  Russia  is  to  combine  with 
Prussia  and  also  with  all  the  Mohammedan  and 
pagan  nations,  and  led  by  "the  Chief  Prince  of 
Rosh"  will  make  their  final  world  drive  for  the 
Holy  Land,  Constantinople  and  the  Suez  Canal. 
It  is  estimated  that  it  will  be  timed  to  commence 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  189 

about  1928  and  end  about  1936,  and  according  to 
prophecy  this  will  be  the  last  war  on  this  war- 
cursed  earth  for  1,000  years.  I  wrote  to  that 
effect  last  year  to  one  of  Britain's  ablest  army 
commanders,  but  he  could  not  agree,  saying 
Armageddon  could  not  come  for  fifty  years, — not 
a  great  war.  Another  British  Army  commander 
wrote  that  it  could  not  come  before  a  hundred 
years  or  Europe  would  be  bankrupt;  but  either 
they  or  the  stone  Bible,  the  Pyramid,  is  mistaken 
and  I'm  sure  they  will  both  approve  of  my  back- 
ing my  faith  on  the  latter,  as  up  to  date  its  pre- 
dictions have  come  true  for  the  outstanding  events 
in  Israel's  history  since  the  world  began. 

The  Pyramid  of  Gizeh  is  the  oldest  build- 
ing in  the  world.  It  is  without  question  the  most 
wonderful  building  in  the  world  to-day,  though 
built  by  Shem,  son  of  Noah,  2170  B.C.  It  was 
built,  I  believe,  under  divine  guidance,  because  it 
foretells  in  stone  and  in  Hebrew  measurements 
what  the  Bible  foretells  in  Hebrew  words — the 
outstanding  propliecies  made  concerning  God's 
chosen  Hebrew  people,  both  the  House  of  Judah 
and  the  House  of  Israel  and  even  located  their 
being  joined  together  in  Jerusalem  before  Arma- 
geddon. Isaiah  said  (Isa.  19:19,  20) :  '*In  that  day 
shall  there  be  an  altar  to  the  Lord  in  the  midst 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  a  pillar  at  the  border 
thereof  to  the  Lord.  And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign 
and  for  a  witness  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts  in  the

land  of  Egypt."  Well,  Mr.  Business  Man,  there 
she  stands  just  where  they  said  it  would  be,  ovei 
four  thousand  years  old,  God's  witness  giving 
visible,  tangible  confirmation  to  the  prophecies 
contained  in  our  Bible.  And  yet,  men  sometimes 
wonder  if  there  is  an  unseen  Ruler  of  the  uni- 
verse !  To-day  you  can  rub  your  hands  over  the 
measurements  in  enduring  granite  showing  when 
the  far-seeing  and  divinely  inspired  architect  indi- 
cated that  Armageddon  would  start  and  finish  and 
as  yet  you  and  your  leaders  are  blind  to  this  visible 
evidence  placed  in  Egypt,  your  early  home,  for 
your  and  your  nation 's  guidance. 

Why  ?    And  again  why  ? 

Is  it  because  the  learned  professors  in  your 
universities  mostly  *' finished"  their  education 
in  Germany  and  absorbed  so  much  of  that 
German-Jewish-made  antichristian  higher  criti- 
cism that  belittles  and  pooh-poohs  the  ''more 
sure  word  of  prophecy"  and  makes  light  of  the 
bulk  of  our  Bible  that  they  fail  to  see  God's 
prophecies  being  made  good  by  history  every  year 
that  we  are  on  His  earth. 

Mr.  D.  Davidson,  M.C.,  M.C.I,  one  of  the 
wisest  students  of  the  recent  developments  in 
Pyramid  Chronology  points  out  in  the  September 
issue  of  the  Covenant  People  how  the  Pyramid  in 
measurements  in  stone  showed  war  was  overhang- 
ing Israel  from  November  8,  1912,  the  time  of 
the    Balkan    troubles,    and    how    fiom    August 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  191 

4th,  1914,  Israel  had  to  bend  her  back  and 
was  not  free  to  stand  upright  until  we  passed 
through  the  low  passage  which  extended  in  these 
stone  measurements  from  August  4th,  1914,  to 
November  11th,  1918,  when  again  Israel  peoples 
could  stand  erect  and  breathe  freely  with  war  re- 
moved by  the  Armistice. 

July  12th,  1920,  Israel  again  had  to  bow 
her  head  and  pass  under  two  removable  yokes 
which  extend  until  November  10th,  1921.  These 
may  be  the  yokes  that  Labor  and  the  Sinn  Fein 
Irish  have  placed  upon  all  Israel,  but  whatever 
they  are  they  will  be  removed  November  lOtli, 
1921,  when  again  we  can  stand  upright  until  1928 
ushers  in  the  time  of  trouble  foretold  as  that  great 
day  of  God  Almighty,  Armageddon. 

Our  allies  in  Armageddon  will  be  Sheba, 
which  is  India,  Dedan,  which  is  Arabia  (the  sons 
of  Ishmael,  who  were  always  to  dwell  in  tents 
as  they  always  have,  and  who  were  to  become  a 
nation,  as  they  did  when  that  young  Englishman, 
Colonel  Lawrence,  formed  them  into  one  during 
the  late  war ;  and  Winston  Churchill  has  now  made 
an  Arab  ally,  Feisul,  King  of  Mesopotamia;) 
the  "merchants  of  Tarshish"  (recently  termed  the 
"Shopkeepers  of  Britain");  and  all  the  young 
lions  thereof. 

The  shopkeepers  of  Britain  (formerly  the 
"merchants  of  Tarshish")  and  their  contemptible 
little  army  were  referred  to  by  his  nibs,  the  alleged 


192  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

all  highest  Emperor  Wilhelm  of  Germany,  now 
doing  time  at  Doom,  and  dodging  tax  paying.  In 
1887  Queen  Victoria  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland 
was  presented  with  a  chart  showing  her  descent 
from  King  Divid  of  Jerusalem,  and  a  copy  was 
also  sent  to  the  Emperor  of  Germany.  Bill  of  the 
upturned  moustache  secured  this  data,  believed  it 
and  thought,  being  the  eldest  son  of  Queen  Vic- 
toria's eldest  daughter,  that  he  was  the  King  Pin 
in  Israel,  and  so  was  God's  battle-axe  and  weapons 
of  war,  which  he  iig-ured  were  made  for  Germany, 
hence  all  his  blather  about  ''Me  und  Gott,"  etc., 
and  his  condescension  in  taking  Gott  into  partner- 
ship Avith  him  in  his  war  schemes  and  placing 
''Gott  niit  tens''  on  the  belt  of  every  soldier  who 
wore  a  German  uniform.  Had  he  been  as  wise  as 
he  was  vain,  he  would  have  remembered  that  "by 
their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them"  applies  to  all 
nations,  peoples  and  churches,  kings  and  rulers. 
All  are  not  Israel  who  say  they  are,  but  many  are 
of  the  congregation  of  Satan !  The  Kaiser  and  his 
nation  will  yet  receive  the  punishment  due  for 
their  outrages  against  humanity,  against  Israel 
and  against  God  the  creator  and  ruler  of  this 
universe.    They  cannot  possibly  dodge  it. 

When  in  Germany,  a  friend  asked  if  I  would 
like  to  meet  the  Kaiser's  eldest  sister,  as  we  were 
temporarily  living  under  the  same  roof,  her 
palace  being  occupied  as  Headquarters  of  the 
Corps  Canadian. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  193 

''Sure,  I'd  like  to  do  anything  once,  pro- 
vided it  did  not  cost  too  much,"  I  said.  So  we 
were  introduced  and  spent  a  pleasant  hour 
deciphering  autographs  in  an  album  and  reading 
character  from  them,  though  we  were  not  sup- 
posed to  fraternize  at  that  time.  But  seeing  a 
British  staff  general  present  when  we  entered,  my 
conscience  did  not  trouble  me ;  besides,  rules  and 
regulations  were  never  a  Canadian's  long  suit  in 
the  army  or  elsewhere. 

Well,  the  Princess  was  quite  concerned  in 
those  days  about  ''poor  Wilhelm"!  and  wondered 
to  me,  mind  you,  what  they  would  do  with  him! 
Now,  I  had  a  whole  lot  of  things  I  'd  wanted  to  do 
to  him  for  four  and  a  half  yoars  but  tlie  situation 
forbade  me  mentioning  theai  in  detai],  to  his 
relative.  Perhaps  it  was  my  temporary  military 
training  that  prevented  me  from  making  a  direct 
reply  to  the  Princess'  pointed  question.  Anyway, 
I  sidestepped  it  and  turned  the  conversation  on  to 
a  side  line.  AVhat  wouldn't  I  give  to  be  able  to 
"spill  all  the  beans"  I  gathered  in  that  chateau! 
'Twould  make  interesting  reading  but  'tisn*t 
done,  even  among  Canadians. 

Well,  who  else  do  you  suppose  are  going 
to  take  part  with  the  "merchants  of  Tarshish"  in 
the  great  battle  of  Armageddon?  The  Kaiser  re- 
ferred to  the  British  as  a  nation  of  "shop- 
keepers," and  we  often  speak  of  the  old  British 
Lion.     Well,  at  Armageddon,  there  will  be  "the 


194  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

merchants  of  Tarshish"  and  beside  them  will  be 
"all  the  young  lions  thereof." 

"Sheba,  and  Dedan,  and  the  merchants  of  Tar- 
shish, with  all  the  young  lions  thereof,  shall  say  unto 
thee.  Art  thou  come  to  take  a  spoil?  Hast  thou 
gathered  thy  company  to  take  a  prey  ?  To  carry  away 
silver  and  gold.  To  take  away  cattle  and  goods, 
To  take  a  great  spoil  ?  ....  In  that  day  when  my  peo- 
ple of  Israel  dwelleth  safely,  shalt  thou  [Chief  Prince 
of  Rosh  et  al]  not  know  it?  And  thou  shalt  come  up 
against  my  people  of  Israel,  as  a  cloud  to  cover  the 
land;  it  shall  be  in  the  latter  days."  (Ezek.  38:13, 
14,  16). 

This  war  is  to  take  place  in  the  Holy  Land 
and  will  be  finished  by  1936  according  to  the  best 
authorities  and  as  I  have  shown  that  America  is 
a  young  lion  from  Britain,  or  the  Covenant  Land, 
the  first  born  and  the  strongest  of  the  old  lion's 
cubs,  and  as  the  Bible  specifically  says  that  all 
the  young  lions  will  be  there,  America  must  be  and 
will  be  on  the  job  as  she  was  at  Alexandria  in  1882. 
A  fine  healthy  lot  of  use  there  will  be  in  this  land 
war  for  capital  dreadnaught  ships  at  forty  mil- 
lion dollars  a  throw !  Fast  cruisers  and  destroyers, 
yes,  and  ships  for  carrying  troops,  and  aeroplanes, 
etc.,  yes,  though  I  see  your  air  officers'  estimates 
for  such  aeroplane  ships  have  been  canned  and 
chucked  into  the  waste  basket  by  Congress.  ''Who 
is  blind  but  my  servant  Israel?" 

What  will  it  cost  America  when  she  enters 
Armageddon  unprepared  I  wonder  1  If  Americans 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  195 

knew  their  prospects  and  future  they  would  fear 
Japan  as  little  as  they  now  fear  Canada,  Aus- 
tralia or  New  Zealand. 

Armageddon  and  the  forces  who  will  fight 
it  are  plainly  shaping  up  to-day  for  this  war  as 
were  the  forces  of  Germany  getting  ready,  and 
discernibly  so  by  students  of  warfare  like  Lord 
Roberts,  Admiral  Sir  John  Fisher,  and  our  Late 
King  Edward  for  fourteen  years  before  1914,  and 
yet,  instead  of  preparing  for  it,  your  vote-catching 
politicians,  your  Hearsts,  your  Sinn  Feiners  and 
pro-Germans  are  all  trying  to  stir  up  strife  be- 
tween Brother  John  of  the  Isles  and  Brother 
Jonathan  from  afar  who  will  each  need  the  help  of 
Japan  and  of  each  other  as  never  before  in  their 
histories. 

I  ^\dsh  I  had  the  time  to  elaborate  upon 
what  the  Bible  tells  of  this  coming  war  and  lay 
dowTi  the  plan  of  campaign  for  it,  but  its  beyond 
my  limit  of  time  and  I  have  already  strung  this 
much  farther  than  I  had  intended,  until,  I  fear  I 
will  be  wearing  out  my  welcome  staying  so  long 
at  my  first  visit  and  partaking  of  such  a  hearty 
meal  while  marking  out  for  you  this  bridgehead. 

That  reminds  me  of  a  hotel  I  used  to 
patronize  in  my  younger  days  where  they  gave 
you  a  good  full  farmer's  dinner,  chicken  or  roast 
beef  for  twenty-five  cents  per  head,  which  sounds 
almost  unreal  now.    Well,  this  proprietor  was  a 


196  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

real  "Boniface"  with  a  sign  above  his  sideboard 
which  read: 

"Eat  Hearty  and  give  the  House  a  Good 
Name." 

I  wish  I  could  with  confidence  hang  out 
such  a  sigTi  for  you  to  eat  heartily  of  the  food  con- 
tained in  this  screed,  but  at  any  rate  you  can  give 
the  House  of  Israel  a  good  name. 

Perhaps  a  sign  like  they  used  to  hang  out 
at  the  Barn  Stormers '  performance  of  Macbeth  in 
the  Western  States  would  be  appropriate  for  me 
to  put  up : 

"Don't  shoot!  He's  doing  the  best  he 
can!"

CHAPTER  X. 

Do  you  wonder  that  during  the  late  war — 
when  ahnost  everyone  at  times  lost  heart  and  felt 
that  we  were  nearly  at  the  end  of  our  tether — I 
never  for  one  moment  felt  that  we  would  not  win ! 
I  was  the  incurable  optimist ! 

At  the  Front  a  half-brick  diet  was  my  more  or 
less  constant  companion,  mostly  deserved  for 
breaking  rules  and  the  King's  regulations  while 
endeavouring  to  push  on  with  roads.  One  compli- 
ment paid  me  I  remember.  After  the  Armistice, 
when  every  officer's  record,  ability,  capacity,  and 
usefulness  had  to  be  placed  on  paper  and  sent  to 
the  War  Office,  my  record  was  sent  to  a  certain 
major-general,  and  he  endorsed  on  it : 

"A  splendid  organizer  of  Labor, 
A  Fine  Roadbuilder 
Constant  in  Adversity 
And  wise  in  counsel." 

That  was  going  pretty  strong  for  a  regular 
soldier  not  given  to  sprinkling  sugar  on  your  army 
rations..  But  the  main  thing  was  ''Constant  in 
Adversity,"  and  I  could  be  constant  in  adversity, 
because  I  believed  the  God-inspired  words  spoken 

198 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  199 

by  the  prophets,  and  I  believed  God  meant  just 
what  they  said  He  did.  Goodness  knows,  there 
was  room  for  a  few  optimists  in  the  fall  of  1917 
at  Paschendale  and  in  the  spring  of  '18  in  front  of 
Amiens ! 

I  knew  Israel  was  to  be  punished  in  measure  by 
the  stripes  of  men,  and  w^e  certainly  got  an  over- 
flowing dose,  but  no  more  than  we  deserved,  and 
no  more  than  was  necessary  to  bring  all  the  na- 
tions of  Israel  to  their  knees  in  prayer  and  humili- 
ation, asking  for  the  help  of  the  Almighty  God. 
From  that  time  on  we  went  forward  until  we  won. 

However,  we  still  worship  idols  and  golden 
calves,  idols  of  wealth  and  idols  of  fashion  and 
popularity;  idols  of  ease  and  comfort  and  the 
movies !  We  nationally  waste  much  substance  in 
more  or  less  riotous  living;  we  have  food  almost 
to  burn,  while  sections  of  Europe  and  Asia  are 
dying  by  the  millions,  without  causing  us  to  turn  a 
hair ;  yet  they  are  our  brothers. 

Abraham  Lincoln  in  a  proclamation  to  the 
American  nation,  in  1863,  after  describing  the 
benefits  bestowed  upon  his  nation,  said : 

*'But  we  have  forgotten  God!  We  are  too  proud 
to  pray  to  the  God  who  made  us. ' ' 

I  wonder  what  Lincoln  would  say  to-day,  could 
he  see  the  nation  he  was  chief  executive  of  fifty- 
eight  years  ago.  If  it  was  true  then  that  you  had 
forgotten  God,  then  how  much  more  true  it  is  to- 
day, with  the  mad  hustle  and  bustle  of  life  in  your 


200  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

big  cities,  and  the  Lord's  Day  given  over  largely 
to  golf,  motoring,  and  pleasure,  while  the  churches 
with  their  few  hundreds  languish. 

Well,  gentlemen,  don't  forget  that  you  will  have 
to  pay  the  bill  and  will  continue  to  do  so,  if  you  do 
not  mend  your  ways,  as  you  did  in  the  sixties ;  and 
the  judgment  for  you  and  your  sons  and 
daughters  is  as  surely  being  ground  out  by  the 
mills  of  God  as  it  was  sixty  years  ago  before  your 
Civil  War,  when  Lincoln  saw  it  and  made  no  bones 
of  plainly  telling  you  about  it  in  his  proclamations 
to  your  nation.  As  Boss  Tweed  once  remarked, 
when  caught  with  the  goods,  what  are  you  going 
to  do  about  it? 

For  these  and  other  national  sins  and  short- 
comings and  because  of  our  failure  to  deal  justly, 
to  love  mercy,  and  to  walk  humbly  with  God,  as 
your  martyred  President,  Abraham  Lincoln,  did 
during  his  years  of  service  to  America,  and  as 
George  Washington  did  before  him,  we  will  re- 
quire another  term  of  many  years  of  war  to  purify 
our  nation  and  yours,  and  w^e  will  surely  get  it  in 
Armageddon  which  still  has  to  be  fought;  but  it 
will  be  won  as  was  the  late  war,  with  God's  help, 
by  His  battle  axe  and  weapons  of  war,  with  which 
He  promises  to  smash  nations  and  kingdoms,  i.e., 
by  Israel,  His  chosen  servant,  ''in  whom  and  by 
whom  he  will  yet  be  glorified." 

1.  Listen,  0  isles  [British],  unto  me;  and  hearken, 
ye  people,  from  far  [U.S.A.] 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  201 

3.  Thou  art  my  servant,  0  Israel,  in  whom  I  will 
be  glorified. 

6.  And  he  said,  It  is  a  light  thing  that  thou  [0 
isles  and  people  from  far]  shouldest  be  my  servant 
[what  for?]  to  raise  up  the  tribes  of  Jacob  [why  the 
isles  if  the  Ten  Tribes  were  not  in  them?],  and  to  re- 
store the  preserved  of  Israel :  I  will  also  give  thee 
[isles,  or  Israel]  for  a  light  to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou 
mayest  be  my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the  earth. 
(Isa.  49:1,  3,  6.) 

Now,  to  every  preacher  I  submit  that  as  the 
end  of  the  earth  is  not  yet  with  us,  somewhere  is 
God's  chosen  people  Israel  who  are  the  light- 
bearers  tc  the  Gentiles.  Gentlemen,  where  are 
they?  Are  they  in  Russia,  Norway,  Sweden,  Den- 
mark, Germany,  France,  Spain,  Italy,  Greece, 
Africa,  or  Iceland,  or  where  ? 

This  same  people  must  possess  all  the  other 
marks  of  Israel,  among  which  are  the  following : 

They  must  keep  the  Sabbath. 

They  must  be  invincible  in  war. 

They  must  possess  the  gate  of  their  enemies, — the 
sea. 

They  must  be  not  the  least,  but  the  chiefest  of 
nations. 

They  must  possess  Joseph's  blessings,  now  in  the 
hands  of  Britain,  U.S.A.,  and  the  other  Anglo-Saxon 
nations. 

They  must  have  ruling  over  the  nation  or  com- 
pany of  nations,  a  King,  of  the  Royal  seed  of  David. 

Who  are  the  light-bearers  to-day  to  the 
Gentile  heathen  nations'?    Surely  it  is  none  other 


202  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

tlian  the  Anglo-Saxons;  who,  therefore,  must  be 
God 's  servant,  Israel. 

Now,  Gentlemen  of  the  Cloth, — University 
professors  not  barred, — it  is  no  use  sidestepping 
this  question.  Either  these  statements  are  true 
or  they  are  false.  If  they  are  true,  God's  King- 
dom is  right  here  on  earth  with  a  visible  enduring 
dynasty  ruling  over  it  just  as  foretold  to  David 
King  of  Israel  (Psalm  89),  and  it  will  continue 
till  Christ  comes  to  rule  His  kingdom.  Moreover, 
you  don't  have  to  die  to  be  of  it  nationally;  every 
believer  in  Christ,  as  St.  Paul  says,  is  of  Israel. 
Mr.  W.  Pascoe  Goard  in  the  national  message  of 
the  Bible  writes : 

The  Bible  knows  a  threefold  presentation  of  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

1.  The  universal  kingdom  of  God  "The  Lord  hath 
set  His  throne  in  the  heavens  and  His  kingdom  ruleth 
over  all."  Manifestly  this  is  not  the  throne  upon  which 
David  reigned. 

2.  The  national  kingdom  of  God  on  Mount  Zion, 
of  which  we  shall  have  more  to  say.  This  was  David's 
kingdom. 

3.  The  ecclesiastical,  or  spiritual  kingdom,  of 
which,  for  instance,  the  Lord  spoke  to  Nicodemus. 
"Except  a  man  be  born  again  he  cannot  see  the  king- 
dom of  God."  This  constitutes  the  apostolic  message 
of  the  Church,  and  with  that  we  shall  not  deal  further. 

Regarding  the  national  kingdom  of  God  estab- 
lished upon  Mount  Zion,  let  us  make  enquiry.  Of  that 
Kingdom  certain  general  things  may  be  said  in  order  to 
give  direction  to  our  thoughts. 

It  is  not  an  universal  kingdom !  It  is  not  a  king- 
dom established  at  its  inception,  over  all  men,  nor  over 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  203 

all  nations !  It  is  not  exclusively  a  spiritual  kingdom, 
but  a  national  and  material  kingdom,  over  which  has 
been  set  a  very  material  throne ! 

The  purpose  of  this  kingdom  of  Jehovah  among 
the  nations  seems  to  resemble  the  purpose  of  Jesus 
Christ  among  individual  men.  It  is  the  enlighteuer, 
the  leader,  the  librator,  and  the  savior  of  the  nations. 
It  seems  indeed  to  be  God's  plan  to  save  men,  one  by 
one,  through  the  redemption  wrought  out  by  Jesus 
Christ  the  Saviour,  and  to  save  nations  by  the  ministry 
of  the  chosen  nation. 

What  excuse  will  avail  for  being  a  blind 
leader  of  the  blind  when  God's  Word,  which  we 
are  told  to  search,  is  so  plainly  written  that  the 
ordinary  man  who  searches  the  Scriptures  can 
read  and  understand  ? 

How  much  good  will  it  do  you,  Gentlemen 
of  the  Cloth,  to  plead:  ''The  higher  critics  mis- 
led me!"  Were  you,  gentlemen,  bidden  to  study 
the  higher  critics  or  to  "search  the  Scriptures"? 
You  ivere  specifically  hidden  to  find  the  sheep 
that  were  lost,  "the  flock  of  my  pasture"  and  this 
flock  according  to  the  Word  "are  men";  the  Lost 
Ten  Tribes^of  Israel  were  His  "lost  sheep,"  "his 
flock."  Wliat  have  you  or  your  church  done  to 
find  them?    Mostly  nothing.    Well  its  up  to  you! 

Now  here  is  another  waymark.  When 
Jacob  was  on  his  way  from  Beersheba  to  Haran, 
he  stopped  at  Luz,  and  that  night  he  had  a  won- 
derful vision  of  a  ladder  reaching  from  earth  to 
heaven  and  angels  of  God  ascending  and  descend- 


204  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

ing  upon  it,  and  the  Lord  stood  above  it  and  told 
liim  his  seed  should  be  as  the  dust  of  the  earth 
and  in  his  seed  all  the  families  of  the  earth  should 
be  blessed  and  He  would  be  with  him  and  keep 
him.  When  Jacob  awaked  out  of  his  sleep  he  was 
much  awed,  and  he  said,  "This  is  none  other  but 
the  house  of  God"  and  he  not  only  called  the  name 
of  the  place  Bethel  (meaning  house  of  God)  but 
he  anointed  the  stone  Avhereon  he  had  slept  and 
called  that  the  house  of  God.  (Gen.  28:  22.)  So 
Israel  used  this  symbol  to  remind  them  of  God's 
presence.  In  their  travels  they  took  this  vener- 
ated stone  representing  to  their  minds  God's 
house.  Iron  rings  were  inserted  in  either  end  to 
slip  a  pole  through,  for  ease  in  transporting  as 
they  moved,  and  it  was  placed  in  a  tent  when  they 
rested.  A  recent  examination  shows  the  iron 
rings  to  be  worn  to  paper  thinness  and  as  it  has 
only  moved  a  few  hundred  miles  since  it  was 
brought  to  Ireland  by  Jeremiah  in  576-8  B.C.,  all 
this  wear  must  have  taken  place  during  its  moving 
from  place  to  place  with  Israel  before  it  reached 
Ireland. 

Throughout  the  Old  Testament  a  stone  or  rock 
is  freciuently  mentioned,  and  considering  their 
regard  for  the  stone  which  Jacob  called  God's 
house,  it  is  not  difficult  to  believe  that  it  was  this 
same  stone  which  was  referred  to  in  Exodus  17, 
when  Moses  smote  the  ''rock,"  and  this  may  be 
what  the  margin  refers  to  as  the  "throne  of  the 


The    liritish    Coronation    (hair    t)iiilt    around    Jacob's    stone    which 
tin-  Iiil)le  ri  tcrs  to  as  the  Tlirone  of  God,  {i.e.  set  up  by  God.) 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  205 

Lord"  in  that  same  chapter.  Again,  it  is  not  hard 
to  believe  that  ''God's  house"  may  have  been 
"the  throne  of  the  Lord"  npon  which  Solomon 
sat  in  place  of  his  father. 

Three  thousand  years  later,  King  George 
the  Fifth  sat  upon  the  throne  of  Great  Britain 
and  Ireland  and  what  did  King  George  sit  upon 
when  he  was  crowned?  Upon  that  very  stone  mth 
the  old  iron  rings  much  worn  through  the  years 
of  travelling ;  and  it  has  had  an  honored  place  in 
the  Coronation  Chair  for  centuries.  In  fact, 
every  English,  Scotch,  and  Irish  King  who  has 
reigned  over  Israel  since  Jeremiah  took  it  to  Ire- 
land has  been  crowned  sitting  upon  it — with  the 
exception  of  ''Bloody  Mary"  (who  sat  in  a  chair 
which  had  been  blessed  by  the  Pope  of  that  day). 

To-day  it  is  in  Westminster  Abbey  in  Bri- 
tain under  a  stone  arch  upon  which  is  engraven 
"Surely  this  is  the  House  of  God"  and  looks  out 
on  the  graves  of  those  illustrious  warriors  who 
for  centuries  have  served  as  God's  battle-axe  and 
weapons  of  war  and  have  given  their  lives  that 
God's  throne  and  God's  kingdom  might  endure. 

Armistice  Day,  November  11,  1920,  wit- 
nessed a  spectacle  the  like  of  which  has  never  be- 
fore been  seen  on  this  round  earth,  when  our 
King,  as  Chief  Mourner,  our  Princes,  our  Prime 
Ministers,  heads  of  the  Army,  Navy  and  Church 
followed  the  remains  of  "The  Unknown  War- 
rior" to  his  last   resting-place  in  Westminster 


206  THE  DESTINY  OP  AMERICA 

Abbey — a  fit  representative  of  those  hundreds  of 
thousands  who  gave  all  they  had  and  all  they 
hoped  to  be  and  died  in  defence  of  God's  King- 
dom on  earth,  not  for  pomp,  vain  pride  or  glory, 
but  for  service,  service  to  humanity,  service  to 
our  weaker  brethren  and  nations,  service  to  the 
whole  world. 

"God  of  our  fathers,  known  of  old, 
Lord  of  our  far-flung  battle-line, 

Beneath  whose  awful  hand  we  hold 
Dominion  over  palm  and  pine — 

Lord  God  of  Hosts,  be  with  us  yet, 
Lest  we  forget — lest  we  forget! 

The  tumult  and  the  shouting  dies, 
The  captains  and  the  kings  depart, 

Still  stands  thine  ancient  sacrifice, 
An  humble  and  contrite  heart. 

Lord  God  of  Hosts  be  with  us  yet. 
Lest  we  forget,  lest  we  forget!" 


This  last  war  our  politicians  said  was 
fought  to  end  war — but  how  far  from  itl 

There  is  gomg  to  he  a  new  world  as  a  result 
of  this  and  the  next  war,  and  the  makings  of  this 
new  world  and  the  next  war  are  already  in  the 
pot  stewing.  The  ''Keds"  wish  to  have  this  stew 
flavored  with  lots  of  blood,  blood  of  the  capitalists, 
the  intellectuals,  anyone  who  by  merit  has  lifted 
himself  above  the  common.  Poor  deluded  people, 
they  know  not  what  they  do ! 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  207 

Labor  wants  this  stew  inside  and  out 
strongly  flavored  with  unionism.  "Join  our  union 
or  you  can't  work;  we  won't  let  you!"  High 
wages,  higher  wages  and  short,  shorter  and 
shortest  hours  until  they  won't  have  to  work  at 
all !  They  want  to  say  who  shall  work ;  of  course 
these  chaps  who  went  overseas  to  save  the  stay- 
at-homes'  hides — they  can't  let  soldiers,  who  have 
served  the  whole  world  so  well,  into  the  Carpen- 
ters', Painters'  or  Plumbers'  Union;  they  might 
displace  in  time  some  of  the  stay-at-homes,  so 
Lord  Haig's  pleading  for  his  soldiers  availeth 
naught.  Their  unions  say  it  wouldn't  do!  This  is 
the  age  when  all  autocracies  are  headed  for  the 
scrapheap-  and  the  labor  union  that  thinks  to-day 
it  can  hold  back  fair-dealing  with  real  justice  to 
union  and  non-union  labor  does  not  see  what  is 
coming  and  is  riding  for  a  fall.  Brith-ans  never 
shall  he  slaves!  to  church,  state,  labor,  or  to  any- 
one or  anything!  Just  now  it  is  unionized  labor's 
turn  to  see  it,  to  the  extent  of  giving  a  good  day's 
work  with  snap  and  vigor  for  a  good  day's  pay — 
which  they  are  not  doing,  but  are  slacking. 

Some  capitalists  want  theirs  and  a  big 
slice,  and  don't  give  a  hoot  what  happens  to  the 
chap  below  the  line.  Thank  goodness!  this  class 
is  gradually  dying  out  or  giving  way  and  will 
soon  be  gone ;  the  good  time  is  coming  when  every 
man  willing  to  give  real  honest  work  or  service 
for  real  pay  will  never  want,  and  that  time  won't 
be  long  in  coming. 


208  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Unionism  has  largely  spoiled  men  from 
giving  a  good  day's  work  for  a  good  day's  pay, 
in  Britain  especially,  and  in  America  and  Canada 
wherever  they  can  enforce  arbitrary  autocratic 
power.  "Go  slow,  Bill"  is  the  general  attitude. 
It  was  so  noticeable  when  I  changed  from  handl- 
ing Canadians  to  handling  British  labor  units  on 
roads  in  France.  Labor  fails  to  see  that  every 
man  that  is  slacking  on  his  job  is  putting  a  tax 
on  everything  he  makes  and,  by  raising  the  price, 
taxing  all  his  fellow  laborers.  Union  labor  cannot 
live  to  itself  alone,  though  they  act  as  if  they 
thought  they  could  and  often  act  as  if  they  could 
lift  themselves  by  pulling  on  their  boot  straps. 
Good  will  and  not  strife  will  eventually  be  the 
leaven  that  will  leaven  the  whole  lump,  from  capi- 
talist to  labor  with  the  great  millions  of  people 
who  are  between  these  two  warring  elements. 

Drifting  seems  to  be  my  "long  suit"  as  I 
seem  to  have  again  left  the  rails. 

Perhaps  you  will  wonder  why  early  in  1917 
I  told  my  Jew  friend.  Major  Blank,  that  we  would 
take  the  Holy  Land  and  hand  it  over  to  his 
hooked-nosed  friends  for  a  national  home.  I  was 
banlving  on  Rev.  Wild,  Dr.  Poole  and  state- 
ments made  in  the  early  seventies  and  eighties 
by  many  other  authors  on  this  point  about  the 
prophecies  concerning  these  latter  days.  Ezekiel, 
who  prophecied  from  628  to  570  B.C.,  said : 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  209 

''I  will  lay  my  vengeance  upon  Edom  by 
the  hand  of  my  people  Israel."  (Ezek.  25:14.) 
Knowing  that  we  Anglo-Saxon  Celts  were  Israel  I 
knew  our  job  was  to  take  Jerusalem  and  the  Holy 
Land  from  Turkey  and  make  a  place  for  the  Tribe 
of  Judah  to  gather  together  representatively. 
Esau  is  Edom,  Mount  Seir,  Idumea,  a  Gentile 
nation,  and  Esau  is  also  Turkey,  the  Ottoman 
nation  who  was  to  be  in  possession  of  the  holy 
places  when  Joseph-Israel  won  that  land  back 
from  the  Gentiles,  as  they  did  in  1917,  just  in  the 
1295  solar  years  or  1335  lunar  years  (dating  from 
the  Hegira  A.D.  622)  foretold  by  Daniel. 

The  prophecies  of  Leviticus  26  were  also 
fulfilled  in  the  return  of  the  Jews  to  Palestine 
after  the  land  had  been  laid  w^aste  for  a  period  of 
seven  times  (a  time  in  the  Bible  being  360  years), 
because  Daniel,  with  the  other  princes,  was  car- 
ried to  Babylon  in  B.C.  603  and  Jerusalem  was 
delivered  in  1917,  just  2520  years  later  to  the 
year. 

Esau  and  Jacob  were  twin  sons  born  1836 
B.C.  of  Isaac  by  Rebekah.    See  Genesis  25 :  23 : 

"And  the  Lord  said  unto  her,  Two  nations  are 
in  thy  womb,  and  two  manner  of  people  shall  be 
separated  from  thy  bowels;  and  the  one  people  shall 
be  stronger  than  the  other  people ;  and  the  elder  shall 
serve  the  younger." 

Esau  was  a  red  man  and  his  offspring,  the 
Turks  of  to-day,  have  this  same  characteristic  as 


210  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

a  nation.  To-day  the  elder,  Esan,  is  serving  the 
younger,  Jacob.  It  was  promised  of  Jacob's  sons 
''In  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be  called,"  and  they 
started  out  calling  themselves  Isaac-sons.  In 
their  travels,  as  the  Hebrew  had  no  vowels,  the 
''I"  was  dropped,  and  on  old  monuments  in  the 
Crimea  these  Israelites  wrote  it  ''Saac-sons"  or 
*'Saac-suns"  and  over  thirty  other  ways,  each 
having  the  same  pronounciation.  To-day  the  word 
pronounced  the  same  is  written  in  English  Saxons. 

30.  "And  Esau  said  to  Jacob,  Feed  me,  I  pray 
thee,  with  that  same  red  pottage ;  for  I  am  faint ; 
therefore  was  his  name  called  Edom. 

33.  "And  he  [Esau]  sold  his  birthright  unto 
Jacob. 

37.  "And  Isaac  answered  and  said  unto  Esau, 
Behold,  I  have  made  him  [Jacob]  thy  lord,  and  all 
his  brethren  have  I  given  to  him  for  servants ;  and 
with  corn  and  wine  have  I  sustained  him:  and  what 
shall  I  do  now  unto  thee,  my  son? 

39.  "And  Isaac  his  father  answered  and  said  unto 
him  [Esau],  Behokl,  thy  dwelling  shall  be  the  fatness 
of  the  earth,  and  of  the  dew  of  heaven  from  above; 

40.  "And  by  thy  sword  shalt  thou  live,  and  shalt 
serve  thy  brother  [Jacob]  ;  and  it  shall  come  to  pass 
when  thou  shalt  have  the  dominion,  that  thou  shalt 
break  his  [Jacob's]  yoke  from  off  thv  neck."  (Gen. 
25:30,  33;  27:  37,39,40.) 

Esau  hated  Jacob  with  a  hatred  that  has 
lasted  down  through  the  ages  for  Jacob's  seed, 
Isaac-sons,  Saac-sons,  Caxons. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  211 

''By  the  sword  shalt  thou  live"  has  been 
literally  true  of  the  Turks  or  Ottomans  who 
have  crowned  their  Sultans,  not  with  a  cro^^m, 
but  Avith  a  sword.  But  the  Master  said,  "All 
they  that  take  the  sword  shall  perish  with  the 
sword";  and  this  is  still  coming  true.  They  have 
had  the  fatness  of  the  earth  for  a  dwelling  place, 
the  choicest  land  on  earth  in  their  possession  and 
they  have  made  it  a  desolation  from  one  end  to 
the  other. 

"And  thou  shalt  serve  thy  brother."  That 
they  did  under  David  and  Solomon,  and  for  cen- 
turies they  held  the  balance  of  power  as  the  Sick 
Man  of  Europe  in  the  middle  East,  keeping  out 
Russia,  and  others,  thus  serving  their  brother 
Jacob  (Brith-ish)  in  a  way  they  did  not  under- 
stand until  the  fullness  of  the  Gentiles  came  in 
and  General  Allenby  took  over  the  Holy  Land 
section  of  Edom  or  Turkey. 

"And  it  shall  come  to  pass  when  thou  shalt 
have  the  dominion  ["Break  loose" — R.V.]  that 
thou  shalt  break  his  yoke  from  off  thy  neck." 
Here  are  some  facts  about  the  descendants  of 
Esau: 

1.  In  Egypt,  the  Pharoah  of  the  oppres- 
sion was  a  son  of  Esau  in  the  fourth  generation — 
Eliphaz,  Amalek,  Thurdan,  Rameses.  He  certain- 
ly tried  to  put  the  yoke  on  the  neck  of  Jacob's 
seed  when  it  was  off  his  oa\ti. 


212  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

2.  The  Amalekites  who  attacked  Israel 
after  their  coming  out  of  Egypt  were  of  Esau 
origin  by  Amalek,  the  son  of  Eliphaz,  oldest  son 
of  Esau  and  his  concubine,  Timna.    (Gen.  36: 12.) 

3.  Haman  was  of  an  Amalekitish  and  Esau 
descent.  He  tried  to  destro}^  all  the  Jews  and 
Benjamites,  for  Queen  Esther  and  Mordecai  were 
both  of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  but  he  was  hanged 
on  the  gallows  he  had  prepared  for  Mordecai. 

4.  Herod  the  Great  was  an  Idumean,  and 
as  King  of  the  Jews  when  the  Romans  had  do- 
minion over  Judah  sought  the  young  child  Jesus 
to  slay  him  who  w^as  the  hope  and  Savior  of  Israel. 

5.  In  1916  Edom,  the  Ottoman  nation,  had 
been  in  possession  of  the  Holy  Land  for  centuries 
— but  where  would  they  have  been  had  their  twin 
brother  Jacob  not  fought  for  them  against  Russia 
in  1854?* 

Edom,  O'Theman,  or  Ottoman  has  had 
dominion  and  lost  it  and  now  again  Jacob's  yoke 
in  the  shape  of  a  mandate  is  on  those  of  them  who 
occupy  the  Holy  Land  because  the  time  has  come 
when  no  nation  can  live  by  the  sword  as  Turkey 
has  for  centuries  past  in  a  Christian  land. 

"Thus  dwelt  Esau  in  Mount  Seir :  Esau  is  Edom. 
And  these  are  the  generations  of  Esau  the  father  of 
the  Edomites  in  Mount  Sier."     (Gen,  36:  8,  9.) 

*Histori/  fiilfUin(f   Prophecy,   by   Win.   Reeve. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  213 

Esau,  as  we  said  before,  is  also  Idumea. 
Idumea  is  the  Greek  form  of  the  name  Edom  or 
Mount  Seir  (rugged)  whose  original  inhabitants 
were  probably  for  two  reasons  called  Horites — 
because  Hori  was  the  grandson  of  Seir,  and  be- 
cause that  name  Hori  was  descriptive  of  their 
name  as  troglodites  or  dwellers  in  caves.*  Just 
remember  these  cave-dwelling  habits  on  the  cliffs 
of  the  Dardanelles  when  we  come  to  look  over 
Obadiah's  prophecies  concerning  Turkey. 

You  will  note  in  the  second  chapter  of  Deu- 
teronomy that  the  Almighty  commanded  Israel 
not  to  molest  their  brethren  of  Esau  and  Mount 
Seir;  they  were  to  pay  for  any  food  and  drink 
which  they  required  as  they  passed  through  the 
land  in  those  early  days  of  Israel 's  wanderings. 

Teman,  you  will  remember,  is  an  Edomite, 
being  a  son  of  Eliphaz,  son  of  Esau.  A  writer  in 
the  Covenant  People  for  July,  1913,  says: 

"The  Edomite  family  name  Teman  in  Hebrew 
is  Th'man  and  linguistically  identical  with  Theman, 
Alth7na7i,  Othman,  Osman,  or  Ottoynan.  Osman,  Otto- 
man, or  Othman  is  an  Edomite  family  name.  The 
historian  Gibbon  in  his  47th  chapter  gives  the  original 
form  of  the  name  of  O'thman,  the  son  of  Ertogrul  as 
Thaman ;  now  Teman,  or  more  strictly  Theman,  was  a 
grandson  of  Esau.  (Gen.  36:11.).  And  another  of 
the  same  name  (36:42)  was  one  of  the  dukes  of 
Edom  and  six  times  over  in  the  Prophets  the  name  is 
used  for  a  prominent  or  leading  section  of  the  Edomite 
race. 

*  Young's  Analytical  Concordance 


214  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

"In  the  very  place  (Obadiah)  in  which  the  de- 
struction of  the  destroyers  of  Israel's  land  is  detailed, 
it  is  WTitten  'Thy  mighty  men,  0  Teman  shall  be  dis- 
mayed.' Ottoman  is,  therefore,  the  Scriptural  desig- 
nation of  the  House  of  Edoni  in  its  dominance  over 
Palestine  and  is  a  striking  testimony  of  the  truth  of 
Holy  writ." 

Having  shown  that  Teman,  Ottoman,  and 
Esau  are  all  Edomite  or  Edom,  as  is  Mount  Seir 
and  Idmnea,  we  can  now  turn  to  Obadiah  and  see 
what  that  prophet,  Avho  died  in  586  B.C.  foretold 
and  if  it  has  come  to  pass, 

Ferrar  Fenton's  Translation  into  modern 
English  is  as  follows: 

''Thus  says  the  Mighty  Lord  about  Edom ; — 

We  have  heard  a  command  from  the  Lord  about  Edom 

And  a  message  is  sent  to  the  Nations ; — 

'Arise !  and  go  up  to  the  war  against  Her !' 

"Look !    I  will  make  you  be  small  among  Nations ! 

And  you  shall  be  greatly  despised ! — 

Your  bold  heart  deceived  you,  who  dwell  on  high 

clitfs  — 
Whose  home  is  on  high,  and  Who  says  to  his  heart, — 

'^Who  can  drag  me  to  earth  V  " 

(Obadiah  1:1-3.). 

Now  just  carry  your  mind  back  to  the 
early  days  of  the  late  war.  Britain  and  France 
were  doing  their  best  to  keep  Turkey  away  from 
her  natural  ally,  of  the  glittering  armour,  the 
great  sword  rattler  of  Europe,  but  those  minions 
of  the  nether  regions,  Enver  Pasha  and  Talaat 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  215 

Bey  (since  gone  to  his  reward!),  with  the  help  of 
the  Goben  and  Breslau  switched  Turkey  to  Ger- 
many. 

Little  did  they  think  then  or  now  that  they 
were  but  the  tools  carrying  out  the  Almighty's 
plan  for  taking  the  Holy  Land  from  the  Otto- 
mans. You  may  remember  how,  after  much  inde- 
cision or  dilatoriness  and  delay,  Britain  decided 
to  send  dreadnoughts  to  bombard  these  Edomites 
•out  of  their  high  cliff  forts  cut  in  rock  along  the 
cliffs  of  the  Dardanelles  and  so  secure  the  last 
gate  of  their  enemies,  Constantinople,  and  also 
how  we  had  to  retire  beaten  in  the  task.  Had 
Britain's  politicians  been  students  of  prophecy 
and  aware  that  Britain  was  Israel  as  was  that 
grand  old  fighting  admiral,  Sir  John  Fisher,  they 
would  not  have  insisted  on  such  a  scheme,  because 
the  better  plan  of  campaign  laid  down  in  the  Bible 
was  later  practically  [and  probably  unknomngly] 
followed  by  General  Allenby  with  such  good  re- 
sults by  land. 

Well,  was  a  message  sent  to  the  nations  to 
arise  and  make  war  against  Edom  or  Turkey,  as 
specified  in  verse  1?  And  has  Edom  or  Turkey 
been  made  small  among  nations  in  comparison 
with  what  she  was  at  the  height  of  her  dominion? 
She  will  be  smaller  yet! 

The  Sultan  was  the  big  man  among  Mo- 
hammedan heathendom.  But  he  lost  Mecca, 
Jerusalem,  Constantinople  and  other  sacred  cities 


216  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  immense  territories  and  to-day  he  is  "small 
potatoes"   and   despised   among   the   aforemen- 
tioned heathen  as  predicted  in  verse  2. 
How  about  verse  3  ? 

"Your  bold  heart  deceived  you  [Edom],  who  dwell  on 
high  cliffs  [along  the  Dardenelles], — 

Whose  home  is  on  high,  and  Wlio  saj's  to  his  heart, — 
'Wlio  can  drag  me  to  earth  f  " 

After  the  retirement  of  our  largest  dreadnought 
can  you  not  see  the  Turks  puffing  up  their  chests 
boastfully  saying,  "We  have  defeated  the  largest 
ships  and  the  biggest  guns  in  the  world,  who  can 
bring  us  down?" 

Well,  the  inspired  prophet,  Obadiah,  2,500 
years  ago,  said  what  would  happen  and  declared 
in  no  uncertain  accents  in  verse  4 : 

"  *If  with  Eagles  you  soar,  if  you  nest  among  stars, — 
I  will  drag  down  from  there,'  says  the  Lord." 

And  down  they  came  and  also  their  fortifications 
along  the  Dardanelles  and  at  Gallipoli. 

Verse  7,  addressed  to  Edom  or  Esau,  says 
(Ferrar  Fenton's  translation) : 

"  'Those  men,  your  allies,  to  your  borders  liave  driven; 

They  deceived  you !  Your  friends  [they]  have  o'er- 
whelmed ! 

Spread  a  net  on  your  bread  that  j'ou  did  not  per- 
ceive.' " 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  217 

The  Revised  Version  puts  this  verse  7  as 
follows : 

"All  the  men  of  thy  confederacy  have  brought 
thee  on  thy  way,  even  to  the  border :  the  men  that 
were  at  peace  with  thee  have  deceived  thee,  and  pre- 
vailed against  thee;  they  that  eat  thy  bread  lay  a 
snare  [marg.,  "wound"']  nnder  thee:  there  is  none 
understanding  in  him." 

Looking-  back  on  what  the  German  friends 
of  Turkey  did  to  her,  could  you  possibly  have  a 
more  vivid  and  true  description  of  how  they  mis- 
led poor  deceived  Turkey,  whose  bread  they  were 
eating  and  whom  thej^  prevailed  against  and  un- 
der whom  they  laid  a  serious  wound  that  Turkey 
could  not  possibly  get  awa^^  from  and  which  fin- 
ally caused  her  downfall.  They  did  bring  her 
even  to  the  border  of  Europe  and  over  the  border 
of  the  Promised  Land  i^ast  the  Euphrates,  and  to 
the  border  of  destruction. 

8.  "Shall  I  not  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  even 
destroy  the  wise  men  out  of  Edom,  and  understanding 
out  of  the  mount  [or  high  places]  of  Esau." 

The  wise  men  in  Turkey  who  did  not  agree 
to  fight  against  their  old-time  friends  and  blood 
relations,  Jacob  (Britain),  were  removed  from 
Turkey's  government,  and  wisdom  and  under- 
standing have  been  destroyed  out  of  the  high 
places  of  Esau — from  among  Enver  Pasha  and 
his  ruling  circle,  and  their  German  masters.    Wis- 


218  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

ddm  gave  place  to  German  hatred  with  its  abso- 
lute lack  of  understanding  of  peoples  and  nations 
other  than  those  made  in  the  German  mould. 
Then  there  follows  in  Obadiah  a  recital  of  what 
the  Ottomans  had  done  to  their  brother  Jacob 
and  the  result  to  them  of  their  actions. 

9.  "And  thy  mighty  men,  0  Teman  [now  Otto- 
man], shall  be  dismayed,  to  the  end  that  every  one  of 
the  mount  of  Esau  may  be  cut  off  by  slaughter. 

10.  "For  thy  violence  against  thy  brother  Jacob, 
shame  shall  cover  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  cut  off  for 
ever. 

11.  "In  the  day  that  thou  stoodest  on  the  other 
side,  in  the  day  that  the  strangers  carried  away  captive 
his  [Jacob's]  forces,  and  foreigners  entered  into  his 
gates,  and  cast  lots  upon  Jerusalem,  even  thou  [0 
Teman]  wast  as  one  of  them. 

12.  "But  thou  shouldest  not  have  looked  on,  the 
day  of  thy  brother  [Jacob]  in  the  day  that  he  be- 
came a  stranger ;  neither  shouldest  thou  have  rejoiced 
over  the  children  of  Judah  in  the  day  of  their  de- 
struction; neither  shouldst  thou  have  spoken  proudly 
in  the  day  of  distress. 

13.  "Thou  shouldest  not  have  entered  into  the 
gate  of  my  people  in  the  day  of  their  calamity :  yea, 
thou  shouldest  not  have  looked  on  their  affliction  in 
the  day  of  their  calamity,  nor  have  laid  hands  on  their 
substance  in  the  day  of  their  calamity ; 

14.  "Neither  shouldest  thou  have  stood  in  the 
crossway,  to  cut  off  those  of  his  that  did  escape ; 
neither  shouldest  thou  have  delivered  up  those  of  his 
that  did  remain  in  the  day  of  distress." 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  219 

All  these  things  the  sons  of  Esau  have  done 
unto  their  twin  brother  Jacob  from  the  time 
Nebuchadnezzar  destroyed  Jerusalem  to  Herod 
the  Great  and  down  through  the  ages.  At  the 
sacking  of  Jerusalem  by  the  Romans  they  took 
part  in  the  most  hideous  atrocities  against  their 
OAvn  flesh  and  blood,  since  which  time  the  mills  of 
God  have  surely  been  grinding  out  the  Almighty 's 
judgment  as  foretold  in  the  following  verses  of 
Obadiah's  single  chapter  devoted  to  Turkey's 
downfall,  and  confirmed  by  Isaiah  31  and  Jere- 
miah 49. 

If  you  read  of  the  sacking  of  Jerusalem, 
you  will  have  some  idea  what  Jacob's  children  had 
to  suffer  at  Esau's  hands.  The  Armenians  in  our 
day  have  met  with  a  similar  fate  by  Talaat  Bey, 
the  Armenian  murderer  who  ordered  that  they  be 
robbed  of  their  substance  and  be  cut  off  at  the 
crossways  and  murdered.  But  the  time  of  judg- 
ment has  arrived — the  judgment  which  the  mills 
of  the  Ruler  of  the  Universe  has  been  grinding 
out  for  the  O'Themans  since  then. 

15.  "For  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near  upon  all 
the  heathen:  as  thou  [O'Teman]  hast  done,  it  shall  be 
done  unto  thee :  thy  reward  shall  return  upon  thine 
own  head." 

Ferrar  Fenton's  translation  puts  it: 

But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come  on  every  Nation 
[not  Turkey  alone]  ; — 


220  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

And  as  you  have  done,  He  will  do  to  yourselves ; — 
Your  crime  will  return  on  your  head ! 

17.  "But  upon  mount  Zion  [the  hill  of  Jerusalem] 
shall  be  deliverance,  and  there  shall  be  holiness;  and 
the  house  of  Jacob  shall  possess  their  possessions." 

Now  what  are  the  facts  that  will  enable  us 
to  judge  if  these  predictions  were  just  so  much 
east  wind  or  if  they  were  based  on  an  understand- 
ing of  divine  law?  Has  Turkey's  crime  turned 
on  her  own  head?  Has  the  day  of  the  Lord,  the 
day  of  right  and  justice  as  opposed  to  might,  come 
upon  nations?  Has  there  been  deliverance  upon 
Mount  Zion  or  Jerusalem!  Has  the  House  of 
Jacob  possessed  their  possessions'? 

To  me  all  these  questions  are  to-day  an- 
swered in  the  affirmative  and  that  without  any 
spiritualizing  of  God's  real  promises  to  Israel, 
right  here  on  earth.  This  spiritualizing  our 
blind  shepherds  find  so  necessary  to  use  to  explain 
Bible  prophecies,  because,  when  they  get  you  sky- 
piloting  and  have  your  feet  and  your  reason  off 
the  solid  ground  and  they  state  that  this  means 
that,  and  that  means  something  else  ''in  the  spir- 
itual sense"  and  in  the  world  to  come,  you  cannot 
usually  argue  back,  because  you  don't  know, 
neither  do  they;  they  are  only  guessing,  and 
giiessing  wrong  at  that  and  telling  you  only  what 
they  have  been  taught,  like  the  doctors  who  used 
leaches  a  Imndred  years  ago  and  bled  everyone — 
they  were  wrong,  but  they  knew  only  what  they 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  221 

had  been  taught.  I  've  never  yet  heard  a  church- 
man, high  or  low,  who  could  explain  God's  prom- 
ise to  Israel  intelligently,  save  by  this  sane  and 
logical  identity  method.  They  can  all  see  the 
propehcies  about  Judah  and  the  Jews  coming 
true  to  the  letter  through  real  people,  some  fif- 
teen million  Jews;  but  when  you  ask  them,  what 
about  the  kingdom,  Israel,  who  were  ten  times  as 
many,  where  they  are,  they  hum  and  haw  and  say, 
"Israel  is  God's  church!"  Has  God's  church 
b^en  the  Creator's  battle-axe  and  weapons  of  war 
with  w^hich  he  was  to  smash  nations  ?  If  so,  what 
nations  has  the  church  smashed?  Does  God's 
church  possess  the  ''gate  of  his  enemies?"  If  so, 
what  gate,  what  enemy  and  where?  Has  God's 
church  become  a  nation,  a  great  nation,  and  a 
company  of  nations?  Not  on  your  life!  And  the 
church  never  will  and  never  can  fulfil  those  grand 
prophecies  foretold  of  national  Israel,  in  the  isles 
of  the  sea.    The  church  sees  the  Cross  of  Christ 

but  fails  to  see  that  He  left  His  Kingdom  on  earth 

to  His  ten  servants,  the  Ten  Trilies  of  Israel,  my 

chosen,  My  dispersed.  My  outcasts.  My  sheep.  My 

witnesses,  Mine  elect,  My  nation,  My  servants  and 

My  people  Israel  who  were  to  " occupji"  until  He 

comes. 


In  my  humble  opinion,  the  allwise  Creator 
caused  the  Bible  to  be  written  for  the  common 


222  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

ordinary  everyday  variety  of  men  and  women 
whom  Abraham  Lincoln  said  God  must  have  loved 
because  he  made  so  many  of  them — just  plain 
folks.  We,  not  particularly  the  parsons  or  Uni- 
versity professors,  are  bidden  to  search  the  Scrip- 
tures and  to  read  God's  Word.  Surely  then,  that 
Word  that  we  are  bidden  to  search  is  understand- 
able by  the  ordinary  man — we,  us  and  company — 
else  why  are  we  bidden  to  read  it  ?  Abraham  Lin- 
coln when  he  was  without  education  read  it  by  the 
light  of  a  pine  knot  and  absorbed  into  his  very 
soul  the  w^isdom  contained  in  its  pages. 

In  one  of  the  messes  I  was  in,  in  1917,  we 
were  blessed  with  three  Oxford  graduates,  two 
of  them  parsons,  one  a  don;  and  believe  me,  the 
higher  critics  had  nothing  that  Oxford  in  their 
daj^  had  not  swallowed  hook,  line  and  sinker! 
They  w^ere  chuck  full  of  it,  and  yet,  they  used  to 
lament  the  condition  of  the  church — as  if  you 
could  grow  oaks  from  thistle  seed !  I  often  won- 
dered how  they  expected  to  inspire  Tommy  with 
faith  in  the  Bible  that  they  were  in  doubt  about 
themselves.  They  lacked  what  they  tried  to  pass 
on  to  the  army,  faith. 

I  used  to  console  myself  with  the  fact  that 
when  the  Master  was  on  earth,  there  must  have 
been  the  Oxford  professors  of  that  day,  though  I 
failed  to  remember  his  having  picked  any  of  them 
to  carry  his  Gospel  to  the  people  and  to  be  the 
light  that  was  to  lighteii  the  world.     Rather  lie 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  223 

chose  fishermen,  and  carpenters  and  tax  collectors 
to  be  his  fishers  of  men.  It  is  possible,  and  I 
think  most  probable,  if  my  mess  mates  were  fair 
samples,  that  when  He  comes  again  to  His  King- 
dom right  on  this  earth,  this  time  to  rule,  and 
when  His  feet  in  that  day  stand  on  the  Mount  of 
Olives  and  it  cannot  be  so  very  many  years  ere 
He  does  this — for  He  is  coming  in  just  the  same 
manner  that  he  went, —  it  is  possible  that  Oxford 
and  many  seats  of  so-called  higher  education  will 
have  much  to  answer  and  some  of  them  will  be 
lucky  if  they  don't  get  a  goat  tag  tied  on  them 
because  so  many  of  our  students  w^hen  they  go 
through  our  Universities  have  lost  their  early 
belief  in  our  Bible  being  inspired  by  the  Creator 
and  Ruler  of  His  Universe. 

I  remember  once  being  asked  by  one  of 
these  Oxford  chaps  if  I  really  believed  that  Christ 
was  coming  back  to  this  earth.    I  said, 

'^AYell,  what  does  the  Bible  say?  'Ye  men 
of  Galilee,  why  stand  ye  gazing  up  into  heaven? 
this  same  Jesus,  which  is  taken  up  from  you  into 
heaven  shall  so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven.'  (Acts  1:11.)  Sure,  He 
is  coming  back  to  this  earth  and  He  is  coming  back 
this  time  to  rule  His  Kingdom  of  Israel  and  we 
Anglo-Saxons  are  Israel,"  I  said. 

The  glance  of  surprise  mixed  witli  pity 
that  he  bestowed  on  me  expressed  his  feelings 
fully ;  a  man  who  thought  as  I  did  was  too  simple 


224  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

for  this  enlightened  age.  They  (the  Oxford 
bunch)  know  so  much  better  than  that  now,  that 
it  was  not  worth  while  discussing  further  the  mat- 
ter with  a  chap  like  myself.  Higher  education 
should  enable  men  to  see  God's  goodness  to  all 
those  who  ask  for  His  guidance  and  help,  but 
many  students  going  to  our  seats  of  higher  edu- 
cation lose  much  of  the  faith  they  had,  after  a  few 
years  there. 

AVell,  I'm  thankful  I  never  knew  enough 
for  the  higher  critics  to  get  ''my  goat"  and  I  still 
retain  my  absolute  belief  in  the  Bible  and  the 
more  sure  word  of  prophecy  contained  therein, 
because  anyone  can  see  prophecy  becoming  his- 
tory year  after  year  just  as  foretold. 

Well,  again  I  am  drifting  away  from  my 
theme  and  in  danger  of  getting  "het  up."  Let's 
go  back  to  Obadiah! 

''The  house  of  Jacob  shall  possess  their 
possessions,"  The  whole  of  the  Promised  Land 
from  the  Nile  to  the  great  river  Euphrates,  the 
territory  promised  to  Abraham,  has  now  floating 
over  it  the  ensign  of  Jacob,  the  Union  Jack.  This 
land  promised  to  Israel  is  possessed  by  Britain. 
Are  we  then  not  Israel?  Judah  (the  Jew)  is 
joined  to  us  under  King  George  V.  of  Brith-ain 
(Covenant  Land) — and  they  shall  be  no  more  two 
people. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  225 

18.  "And  the  house  of  Jacob  shall  be  a  fire,  and 
the  house  of  Joseph  a  flame,  and  the  house  of  Esau  for 
stubble." 

Stubble  is  straw  that  has  had  the  grain  and 
top  cut  off.  It  still  stands  up,  and  Ephraim, 
Joseph,  is  the  flame  to  consume  it  as  they  did  after 
the  Turk  was  chased  out  of  Jerusalem.  Ephraim, 
Britain,  was  like  a  flame  among  the  stubble,  burn- 
ing them  up  all  along  the  line  until  the  Turks  quit 
fighting  and  got  an  armistice ;  but  the  end  of  Tur- 
key is  not  yet.  She  will  be  finished  with  many 
others  at  Armageddon. 

Did  it  ever  strike  you  as  strange  that 
neither  France,  Italy,  or  Belgium  sent  troops  to 
help  in  the  campaign  in  the  Holy  Land!  It  was 
left  to  the  British  alone,  as  it  was  in  1882,  when 
they  took  the  Egypt  end  of  their  possessions,  to 
possess  their  (Jacob's)  possessions — though 
America  should  have  and  will  yet  come  in  on  it 
as  she  did  in  1882. 

The  Ephraimites  always  had  trouble  with 
their  H's.  See  Judges  12:5  and  6  where  it  cost 
them  the  lives  of  forty-two  thousand  because  of 
this  peculiarity.  Not  being  able  to  pronounce 
"Shibboleth,"  they  all  said  Sibboleth  and  it  is  a 
strange  thing  that  down  through  the  ages  that 
characteristic  has  stuck  to  the  sons  of  Ephraim. 
The  cockney  of  London  A\'ill  say  "horanges"  and 


226  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

"  'orses"  to  this  day  and  it  was  the  cockneys  of 

London  who  took  Jernsalem  and  who  held  it,  and 

they  are  Epliraim,  the  English,  who  were  to  be 

the  head  of  the  tribes,  this  stubborn  stiff-necked 
people  mth  the  bull's  head  emblem  under  which 
they  marched  when  Moses  brought  them  out  of 
Egypt,  and  now  knowTi  as  Brother  John  of  the 
Isles. 

Even  the  Word  of  God  must  be  confirmed 
by  two  witnesses.  Obadiah  mentioned  that  when 
Esau  should  have  dominion,  he  would  break  his 
brother  Jacob's  yoke  from  off  his  neck  and  he 
did.  Jeremiah  49 :2  predicts :  ' '  Then  shall  Israel 
be  heir  unto  them  that  were  his  heirs,  saith  the 
Lord."  Eead  that  whole  chapter  through  as  it 
confirms  Obadiah,  they  being  contemporaries. 
Well,  Israel  to-day  is  heir  to  what  the  Ottomans 
had  in  the  Holy  Land. 

Ferrar  Fenton  translates  Jeremiah  49: 
19-22  as  follows: 

"See  he  was  like  a  lion  coming  up  from  the  swell- 
ing of  Jordan  to  the  permanent  meadows :  ''I  will  be 
sly  with  them,'  he  said,  'I  will  assail  from  behind  them, 
— what  hero  can  defend  them?  for  who  is  equal  to  me, 
and  w'ho  expects  me?  and  what  shepherd  can  stand 
before  me  ?' 

"Therefore  hear  the  intent  of  the  Ever-living, 
which  He  intends  against  Edom,  and  the  plans  He  has 
planned  against  the  people  of  Theman,  if  they  do  not 
w^ithdraw  the  young  of  the  flock;  if  they  do  not  put 
them  in  the  Fold. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  227 

''The  earth  shall  shake  at  the  sound  of  her  fall ; — 
the  voice  of  his  shriek  to  the  Sea  of  Weeds ! 

"Look!  He  conies  like  an  eagle,  and  flies!  and 
spreads  his  wing's  over  Bozrah, — and  the  heart  of  the 
heroes  of  Edom  in  that  day  will  be  like  the  heart  of  a 
woman  in  terror !" 

AVell,  Jeremiali  wrote  that  description  of 
how  Israel  Avas  to  take  this  land  before  597  B.C., 
and  strange  as  it  may  seem,  the  troops  of  the  old 
British  lion  were  sly  in  exactly  the  manner  pre- 
dicted. They  broke  through  and  assailed  the 
Turks  from  behind  and  took  the  heart  out  of  the 
sons  of  Esau.  In  Jeremiah's  day  there  were  no 
aeroplanes,  yet  with  the  vision  of  the  prophet  and 
seer,  he  looks  forward  2,500  years  and  says:  *'He 
shall  come  up  and  fly  as  the  eagle,  and  spread  his 
wings  over  Bozrah";  and  our  fighting  units  with 
their  flying  squadron  attachments  did  just  that 
and  uncovered  the  hidden  places  of  Esau. 

And  yet  unwise  people  pooh-pooh  Bible  pro- 
phecy ! 

You  will  remember  that  Turkey  at  Ger- 
many's staff  suggestion,  started  a  campaign  for 
the  taking  of  Egypt  and  of  the  Suez  Canal  from 
Britain.  Look  up  Isaiah  31  for  a  description  of 
that  campaign. 

1.  "Woe  to  them  that  go  down  to  Egypt  for  help ; 
and  stay  on  horses,  and  trust  in  chariots,  because  they 
are  many;  and  in  horsemen,  because  they  are  very 
strong ;  but  they  look  not  uato  the  Holy  One  of  Israel, 
neither  seek  the  Lord ! 


228  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

2.  "Yet  He  also  is  wise,  and  will  bring  evil,  and 
will  not  call  back  His  words :  but  will  arise  against  the 
house  of  the  evildoers,  and  against  the  help  of  them 
that  work  iniquity." 

AVell,  the  workers  of  iniquity  and  their 
helpers  who  banked  on  their  numbers  and 
strength,  were  the  recipients  of  woe  ere  they  got 
back  from  that  good  sized  expedition. 

3.  "Now  the  Egyptians  are  men,  and  not  God; 
and  their  horses  flesh,  and  not  spirit.  When  the  Lord 
shall  stretch  out  His  hand,  both  he  that  helpeth  shall 
fall,  and  he  tliat  is  helpen  shall  fall  down,  and  they 
all  shall  fall  together. 

The  Egyptians  who  were  stirred  up  into 
revolting  and  the  Germans  and  Ottomans  who 
went  down  to  help  them  all  fell  together  in  that 
particular  ''show." 

4.  "For  thus  hath  the  Lord  spoken  unto  me,  Like 
as  the  lion  [the  old  British  Lion]  and  the  young  lion, 
[Australia,  New  Zealand,  etc.]  roaring  on  his  prey, 
when  a  multitude  of  shepherds  [leaders  or  generals] 
is  called  fortli  against  him,  he  [the  lion]  will  not  be 
afraid  of  their  voice,  nor  abase  himself  for  the  noise 
of  them :  so  shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  come  down  to  fight 
for  mount  Zion  and  for  the  hill  thereof. 

5.  "As  birds  flying,  so  will  the  Lord  of  hosts  de- 
fend Jerusalem ;  defending  also  he  will  deliver  it ;  and 
passing  over  he  will  preserve  it." 

Well,  reader,  what  is  the  answer  to  verse 
four  ! 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  229 

Like  as  a  lion,  the  old  British  Lion  and  the 
young  lions  which  came  from  Australia,  New  Zea- 
land, etc.,  to  help  the  old  lion  redeem  Jerusalem, 
were  not  afraid  of  the  multitude  of  shepherds  or 
generals  opposed  to  them ;  but  like  lions  all,  they 
went  for  the  Turks  and  their  Hun  masters,  and 
they  certainly  put  the  fear  of  God  into  their 
hearts  after  their  first  encounters.  Hoiv  Jersa- 
lem  Was  Won,  written  by  W.  T.  Massey,  who  was 
with  Allenby's  army,  gives  a  splendid  account  of 
it.  So  did  the  Lord  of  Hosts  "come  down  to  fight 
for  Mount  Zion  and  for  the  hill  thereof." 

I  cannot  do  better  than  quote  from  the 
Covenant  People,  November,  1920,  issue,  extracts 
from  a  lecture  by  the  Rev.  Commander  L.  G.  A. 
Roberts,  R.N. 

"The  Word  of  God  is  true !  1917  is  exactly  seven 
times  [the  times  the  prophet  foretold]'  from  the 
Babylonian  captivity  of  Judah,  and  in  that  year  the 
Holy  City  was  delivered.  Obadiah  gives  you  exactly 
the  strategical  method  in  which  their  deliverance  took 
place.  Isaiah  31:5  telLs  you  exactly  how  God  de- 
livered it  'As  birds  flying,  so  will  the  Lord  of  Hosts 
defend  Jerusalem;  defending  also  he  will  deliver  it; 
and  passing  over  he  will  preserve  it, 

"When  General  Allenby  came  over  the  Mount 
Gerizini — tho  IMount  of  Blessing — the  Turks  were 
fleeing  over  Mount  Ebal— the  Mount  of  Cursing. 

"When  Allenby  came  to  Jerusalem  the  Turks 
were  convinced  that  the  Holy  City  never  could  be  taken 
because  it  had  been  predicted  that,  unless  the  waters 


230  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

of  the  Nile  flowed  into  Palestine,  the  Turks  would 
hold  Jerusalem.  What  occurred  ?  When  crossing  the 
desert  our  gallant  engineers  laid  a  water-line — a  pipe- 
line from  the  Nile — right  across  the  desert,  and  near 
Jerusalem,  they  connected  it  through  into  the  Holy 
City.  When  the  Turks  saw  the  fulfilment  of  their  own 
prophecy — the  waters  of  the  Nile  mingling  with  the 
waters  around  them — they  knew  all  was  lost. 

"The  Arabs  had  also  a  prophecy.  They  said  that 
Jerusalem  would  one  day  be  delivered  by  the  hand  of 
a  Prophet  of  God.  General  Allenby's  name,  in  Arabic, 
is  "Allah-Nebi,'  which  means  a  'Prophet  of  God.'  These 
two  things  coinciding  the  Turks  were  quite  nonplussed. 

"Remember  how  Jerusalem  was  taken.  General 
Allenbj^  did  not  want  to  fire  a  shot  at  the  sacred  city. 
He  telegraphed  home  to  the  Premier  to  know  what  he 
should  do.  Bombard  Jerusalem  or  not  ?  The  Premier's 
reply  was  that  he  must  be  left  to  do  as  he  thought 
right.  That  did  not  satisfy  AUenby.  He  telegraphed 
home  to  the  King  and  the  King  told  him  to  make  it  a 
matter  of  prayer.  Well,  they  had  a  service;  the 
whole  of  the  officers  went  to  prayer.  As  they  were 
rising  from  their  knees  a  herald  from  Jerusalem  ar- 
rived with  a  flag  of  truce,  and  the  Governor  of 
Jerusalem  surrendered  to  the  British  forces. 

"  'Before  they  call  I  will  answer,  and  while  they 
are  yet  speaking  I  will  hear.'  'Call  upon  me  in  the  day 
of  trouble  and  I  will  deliver  thee  and  thou  shalt 
glorify  me.'  What  was  the  result?  Instead  of  going 
into  Jerusalem  like  that  proud  Kaiser,  General  Alien- 
by  went  in  as  if  he  understood  it  was  a  Holy  jMission, 
on  his  feet  in  humble  submission, 

"It  was  not  he  or  the  British  arm}',  but  the  act 
of  God;  and  Allenby  went  in,  not  for  the  conquest  of 
Jerusalem,  but  for  its  deliverance. 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  231 

''Now  the  Turks  were  very  sorry  they  had  left 
and  thought  they  would  come  back.  They  placed  their 
guns,  and  prepared  to  bomlDard.  Suddenly  the  areo- 
planes  appeared,  and  then  the  Turks  finally  retreated. 
Not  a  shell  was  fired  against  the  sacred  city. 

"That  date  [1917]  is  stated  in  the  Pyramid." 

We  have  God's  two  witnesses,  the  Bible 
and  the  Pyramid  and  both  were  correct.  We 
have  also  God's  two  national  witnesses  who  hear 
the  Union  Jack,  the  older  glory,  and  the  other 
"Old  Glory,"  the  Stars  and  Stripes;  and  the  na- 
tions they  represent  will  continue  to  be  used  for 
God's  glory  throughout  the  world. 

W.  T.  Massey  writes : 

"The  troops  of  the  Turks  and  Germans  who  were 
entrenched  on  the  hills  beyond  Jerusalem,  when  pre- 
paring to  attack  it  were  told  that  when  Jerusalem 
was  recaptured  they  were  all  going  to  have  a  free  day 
to  do  as  they  liked  in  the  City  and  so  we  saved  Jerus- 
alem from  being  pillaged." 

On  December  27th  the  Turks  delivered 
thirteen  attacks  towards  the  city  for  the  purpose 
of  capturing  it;  but  the  British  gained  seven  miles 
in  these  attacks,  and  the  end  of  the  day  found 
Jerusalem  defended  by  four  strong  lines  so  they 
made  true  the  w^ords  of  the  "Unseen  Strategist 
of  the  Universe" — "Defending  also  he  will  deliver 
it;  and  passing  over  he  will  preserve  it." 


232  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

In  the  face  of  this  absolute  fulfilling  of 

prophecy  how  do  men  doubt  the  reality  of  God's 

promises  to  His  servant,  Israel,  who  was  to  win 

the  Holy  Land  and  who  did  win  it  in  the  year  and 

in  the  manner  predicted  in  those  prophetic  words 

describing  how  the  Lord  would  defend  and  deliver 

Jerusalem,  the  city  of  which  it  is  written  in  2 

Kings  21 :  4:  ''In  Jerusalem  will  I  put  my  name." 

These  words  were  uttered  over  2,520  years  ago 
and  in  1917  they  came  true,  seven  "times"  from 
the  destruction  of  Jerusalem  and  the  taking  of 
Judah  captive. 

What  does  this  mean  to  you?  Since  these 
material,  earthl)'-,  and  national  promises  dated 
for  1917  and  all  previous  dates  have  been  fulfilled, 
what  about  those  for  1921,  1922,  and  1923,  and  so 
on  to  1936  when  Armageddon  is  to  be  finished? 
You  can  depend  upon  it  that  every  divinely  in- 
spired prophecy  from  1917  to  1936  will  come  true 
and  at  the  allotted  time.  ' '  The  arm  of  the  Creator 
is  not  shortened."  "Behold,  he  that  keepeth 
Israel  [and  we  are  Israel]  shall  neither  slumber 
nor  sleep." 

George  Washington,  Abraham  Lincoln,  and 
others  of  your  wisest  leaders  have  told  you  in 
their  national  proclamations  what  God  has  done 
for  America,  and  you  let  it  slide  like  water  off  a 
duck's  back.    How  much  are  you  doing  towards 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  233 

carrying  on  your  share  of  the  Creator's  work? 
You  have  a  large  share  to  carry  on,  for  you  are  a 
large  part  of  His  executive  nation  and  company 
of  nations  and  there  are  punishments  which  you 
or  your  children  will  receive  just  as  surely  as  the 
sun  rises  if  your  share  of  the  job  is  not  performed. 

Good  thoughts  that  are  not  transferred  in- 
to good  actions  are  not  worth  two  hoots  in  the  hot 
place.  If  the  foregoing  statements;  are  facts, 
then  you  personally  have  a  job,  a  divine  job,  that 
you  cannot  pass  over  to  your  parson's  shoulders. 
He  is  already  overstocked  with  troubles  and 
doubts  of  his  o^^^l  just  now,  since  the  German 
higher  critics  are  in  the  discard. 

Armageddon  will  be  upon  us  about  eleven 
years  from  the  time  we  took  Jerusalem.  We  will 
need  in  that  day  a  United  Empire  and  a  United 
States  free  from  hyphenates,  though  there  are 
world-wide  forces  to-day  at  work  internally  and 
externally  trying  to  disrupt  both  these  mighty 
nations  wiio  are  destined  to  carry  "good  will"  to 
the  whole  world.  They  were  both  given  the  di- 
vine commission  to  ''push  the  people  together  to 
the  ends  of  the  earth"  and  they  have  been  carry- 
ing it  out  and  will  continue  to  do  so,  imperfectly 
of  course,  but  still  heading  in  the  right  direction. 

The  late  Colonel  Theodore  Roosevelt,  that 
outstanding  American  and  apostle  of  good  will, 
wRose  autographed  photograph  I  am  proud  to 
look  at  hanging  on  my  wall,  believed  that  the  man 


234  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

who  was  opposed  to  cultivating  the  warmest 
friendship  between  the  Anglo-Saxon  nations  was 
no  friend  of  the  world. 

Let  us  carry  on  the  divine  command  with 
truth,  justice  and  good  will  to  all  men,  pushing 
peoples  together,  first  among  the  English-speak- 
ing peoples  and  continuing  until  the  whole  world 
is  one  in  aim. 

There  are  papers  and  institutions  in  all 
countries  devoted  to  stirring  up  trouble  and  strife 
between  us.  Knowing  that  their  aim  is  to  breed 
"contention,"  let  us  not  reply  in  kind,  and  when 
you  see  quoted  in  a  paper  a  strife-breeding  para- 
graph against  your  nation,  just  remember  the 
class  of  people  who  are  interested  in  propagating 
that  strife  and  smile  and  remember  that  One 
greater  than  all  has  His  hand  on  the  helm,  even 
if  you  and  I  do  not  and  cannot  understand  the  why 
and  the  wherefore  of  all  "the  mystery  of  God." 

How  many  men  do  you  suppose  there  are 
in  the  steel  business  who  understand  what  is  go- 
ing on  in  the  mind  of  that  master  of  steel,  Charles 
M.  Schwab — even  men  helping  him  to  run  his  big 
plants!  Then  what  about  His  workmen,  how  can 
tliey  understand  the  Master  Mind?  Should  we, 
then,  be  surprised  that  so  few  know  and  under- 
stand the  Creator's  plan?  They  ask  why  He  per- 
mits wars,  famine,  pestilence,  and  social  disturb- 
ances, forgetting  that  the  prophets  saw  and  fore- 
told that  just  these  things  must  come  to  pass  as 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  235 

the  result  of  the  nations  not  carrying  out  His 
laws  which  have  never  been  abrogated,  as  were  the 
ecclesiastical  laws,  but  which  were  confirmed  by 
Christ  when  he  was  on  earth  and  they  have  been 
waiting  ever  since  for  our  Israel  nations  to  accept. 

The  world  has  got  to  reap  what  the  world 
sows;  they  can  no  more  duck  it  than  they  can 
stop  the  sun  from  shining.  The  hatred  of  Prus- 
sian Germany  against  God's  chosen  people, 
Israel  (The  Anglo-Saxon-Celts)  dates  from  the 
time  they  took  Hebrew  Israel  captive  720  years 
before  Christ,  so  'tis  fairly  well  ingrained.  Russia 
has  been  taught  for  j-ears  by  those  apostles  of 
light  and  Soviet  learning — Lenine  and  Trotsky 
(organized  in  New  York  and  sent  through  Ger- 
many)— to  hate  the  Covenant  men,  the  Brith-ish 
(and  Americans  are  as  much  Brith-ish  as  are 
Canadians),  with  a  hatred  that  will  not  die,  but 
will  continue  until  they  are  almost  wiped  out  at 
Armageddon ;  but  there  will  be  enough  left  to  take 
the  news  back  to  their  people,  that  God  not  only 
rules  in  heaven,  but  also  on  earth  as  in  heaven 
and  that  the  Christ  has  come  again  to  rule. 

Germany  was  pretty  busy  through  all  the 
underground  and  above  ground  channels  before 
1914,  stirring  up  strife  between  us  all  and  prepar- 
ing for  ^'der  Tag."  Prussia,  Russia  and  other 
unseen  forces  to-day  are  busier  than  ever  before 


236  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

along  the  same  lines  in  India,  China,  Persia,  Tur- 
kestan, Egypt  and  all  the  uneducated  heathen 
nations.  Prussia  is  prohibited  from  doing  any- 
thing by  the  sea  because  of  the  navies  of  Britain, 
United  States  and  Japan,  and  so  that  genial  advo- 
cate of  '^good  will  on  earth"  (?)  Vor,  Tirpitz  by 
name,  advises  the  U.S.A.  to  build  a  big  fleet  of 
dreadnoughts,  hoping  that  some  day  the  Huns 
may  be  able  to  stir  up  strife  between  America 
and  Britain  and  have  them  destroy  each  other — 
when  Germany  would  step  into  "her  place  in  the 
sun"  that  we  hear  so  little  about  these  days. 
Before  your  big  and  growing  navy  is  complete 
you  wdll  be  again  harboring  the  German  type  of 
embassy  with  Von  Bernsdorf  and  Von  Papen  at- 
tachments for  blowing  up  your  munition  plants 
and  stirring  up  Mexico  and  Japan  to  attack  you. 

The  papers  last  week  reported  a  certain 
Hugo  Stinnes  as  buying  up  manufacturing  plants 
in  Russia.  Prussia  will  eventually  reorganize 
Russia.  France  will  see  that  they  do  not  manu- 
facture armaments  in  Germany,  but  she  cannot 
prevent  her  from  doing  so  in  Russia  and  all  the 
Armageddon  war  material  required  will  be  made 
in  Russia. 

The'  Bible  says  the  Army  of  the  Chief 
Prince  of  Rosh  are  all  to  be  mounted  on  horses, 
and  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  1901  Russia 
had  thirty  million  horses,  America  about  eight 
million  and  the  rest  of  the  world  about  eight  mil- 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  237 

lion,  so  the  ''Chief  Prince  of  Rosh"  and  his  mil- 
lions will  not  have  to  hoof  it  as  we  did  in  Belgium 
along  the  pave. 

I  think  the  ''day  of  the  Lord"  is  come 
upon  all  nations  and  the  almost  unexpected  wiping 
the  slate  clean  of  licenses  for  men  to  sell  fire- 
water and  the  prohibiting  of  its  being  openly 
drunk  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  is  a  de- 
finite mile-post  showing  how  near  is  the  approach 
of  that  "great  day,"  because  ere  that  day  many 
things  that  offend  have  to  be  put  into  the  discard. 

Still  again  I  've  drifted  from  my  text.  The 
prophet  Isaiah  said: 

8.  "Then  shall  the  Assyrian  [Prussian]  fall  with 
the  sword,  not  of  a  mighty  man ;  and  the  sword,  not  of 
a  mean  man,  shall  devour  him :  but  he  shall  flee  from 
the  sword,  and  his  young  men  shall  be  discomfited. 

9.  "And  he  [the  Assyrian]  shall  pass  over  to  his 
strong  hold  for  fear,  and  his  princes  shall  be  afraid 
of  the  ensign,  saith  the  Lord  [what  ensign?],  whose 
fire  is  in  Zion,  and  his  furnace  in  Jerusalem."  (Isa. 
31:8,  9.) 

Did  these  things  come  true?  Did  the 
sword  of  General  Allenby  (unknown  as  a  "mighty 
man,"  and  not  a  "mean  man")  devour  the  Hun 
and  Turkish  troops?  and  did  the  Huns  pack  up 
and  beat  it  back  to  Germany,  their  stronghold 
for  fear,  leaving  poor  Turkey  to  fight  it  out  alone, 
which  they  proceeded  to  do?  The  history  of  this 
campaign  shows  these  verses  have  come  true  to 
the  letter. 


238  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

''And  his  princes  [German  or  Prussian] 
shall  be  afraid  of  the  ensign  [that  grand  old  cove- 
nant banner  which  was  to  be  set  up,  the  Union 
Jack],  saith  the  Lord,  whose  fire  is  in  Zion." 
"And  the  house  of  Jacob,"  said  Obadiah,  ''shall 
be  a  fire" — to  burn  up  Edom,  or  Turkey,  (for  he 
says  the  house  of  Esau  shall  be  for  stubble)  so 
that  they  could  "possess  their  possessions  in 
Zion,"  and,  according  to  Isaiah,  the  Lord  said 
this  ensign  whose  fire  is  in  Zion  (our  Union  Jack 
which  Jacob  sets  up),  will  make  the  Assyrian  or 
Prussian  princes  afraid.  Certainly  it  did  put  the 
fear  of  God  in  their  hearts  when  they  saw  it 
floating  over  Jerusalem.    See  Isa.  11 :  12 : 

"And  he  shall  set  up  an  ensign  for  the  nations,  and 
shall  assemble  the  outcasts  of  Israel,  and  gather  to- 
gether the  dispersed,  of  Judah  [the  Jews]  from  the 
four  corners  of  the  earth." 

It  is  also  predicted  in  this  chapter  that  the 
envy  of  Ephraim  (the  English)  should  depart, 
which  will  be  a  fine  thing  for  Britain,  when  Judah 
will  no  longer  vex  Ephraim,  because  the  "inter- 
national Jew"  has  given  Brith-ain  (Covenant 
land)  many  a  sore  touch  and  has  vexed  Hebrew 
Ephraim  (Britain)  more  ways  than  you  have 
fingers  and  toes.  AVhen  all  of  Hebrew  Judah 
works  together  with  Hebrew  Ephraim  instead  of 
partly  with  the  Prussian  Assyrian,  their  ancient 
enemy,  for  whom  the  "international  Jew"  worked 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  239 

daring  the  war,  a  change  will  come  over  Jewry 
the  world  over. 

I  have  been  interested  reading  Mr.  H.  G. 
Wells'  articles,  entitled  The  Salvaging  of  Civiliza- 
tion, in  the  Saturday  Evening  Post.  He  like  many 
authors,  Sir  Philip  Gibbs  included,  cannot  see 
daylight  out  of  the  present  troubled  world  condi- 
tions and  suggests,  as  a  partial  improvement,  re- 
writing the  Bible,  because  he  thinks  its  not  up  to 
date.  Its  too  redundant,  too  much  information 
about  minor  Kings  of  Israel  and  Judea,  too  much 
Obed  begat  Jehu,  etc.,  etc.,  and  it  doesn't  say  any- 
thing about  modern  history!  Too  bad,  isn't  it, 
and  nothing  about  elections ! 

Well,  when  Mr.  H.  G.  Wells  can  write  a 
condensed  history  of  the  world  covering  over 
4,000  years  and  can  foretell  accurately  what  will 
happen  to  nations  and  people  from  2,000  to  3,000 
years  before  it  does  happen;  when  he  can  accur- 
ately foretell  the  work  the  American  and  British 
sections  of  Israel  will  do  several  thousand  years 
ahead  of  the  time  they  are  to  do  it,  then,  and  not 
till  then,  should  he  have  the  temeritv  to  rewrite 
the  Bible. 

Because  Mr.  Wells  does  not  know  or  under- 
stand why  the  redundancy  in  Leviticus,  why  the 
information  about  minor  Kings  of  Israel  and  be- 
cause his  pulse  stirs  feebly  over  the  date  that 
Nathan  begat  Zabad,  etc.,  is  not  a  good  or  a  logical 
reason  for  cutting  them  out,  but  is  rather  a  reason 


240  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

why  Mr.  Wells  should  study  why  they  were  put 
in. 

One  might  as  well  argue  that  because 
junior  students  do  not  understand  the  books  of 
Euclid  when  they  read  them  over,  therefore,  they 
ought  to  be  scrapped ! 

There  are  probably  a  whole  lot  of  things 
Mr.  H.  G.  AVells  does  not  understand  about  other 
things  as  well  as  the  Bible,  but  to  my  unsophisti- 
cated mind  that  does  not  appear  a  good  reason 
why  they  should  be  scrapped  but  rather  why  we 
should  study  them  and  become  more  proficient 
in  knowledge  about  them. 

I  may  be  wrong,  but  it  seems  to  me  that 
before  any  man,  even  with  the  abundant  knowl- 
edge Mr.  Wells  may  possess,  decides  that  he  or  a 
committee  should  meet  and  trim  down  our  Bible, 
which  has  been  handed  down  through  the  ages, 
they  should  first  read  the  last  chapter  of  Eevela- 
tion  and  the  warning  contained  in  it  as  translated 
by  Ferrar  Fenton  which  is  as  follows : 

The  Last  Solemn  Warning. 

"I  certify  to  every  one  listening  to  the  statements 
of  the  prophecy  of  this  book — If  any  one  shall  make 
an  addition  to  it,  God  shall  lay  upon  him  the  plagues 
which  are  recorded  in  this  book;  and  if  any  one  shall 
take  away  from  the  statements  of  the  book  of  this 
prophecy,  God  will  take  away  his  portion  from  the  tree 
of  life,  and  from  the  city  of  holiness  described  in  this 
book." 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  241 

Men  who  place  themselves  on  a  par  with 
the  divinely  inspired  prophets  of  old  who  wrote 
our  Bible,  which  has  proven  so  true  down  through 
the  ages,  and  who  think  it  can  readily  be  improved 
by  their  scissors,  paste  pot,  and  pen  have  an 
opinion  of  their  qualifications  that,  to  say  the 
least,  would  not  be  condemned  for  modesty. 

Mr.  H.  G.  AVells  agrees  that  the  Bible  has 
held  together  the  fabric  of  western  civilization 
which  could  not  have  come  into  existence  and 
could  not  have  been  sustained  without  it;  but  he 
says  it  no  longer  grips  the  community,  so  he'd 
scrap  parts  of  it  and  chuck  in  some  up-to-date 
^'stuph"  compiled  by  modest  prophets  like  him- 
self! 

Is  it  the  fault  of  the  community  that  the 
Bible  no  longer  grips  it?  or  is  it  the  fault  of  the 
Bible  I  This  same  Bible  gripped  Oliver  Cromwell 
and  the  men  of  all  ages  when  the  Anglo-Saxons 
everywhere  were  at  their  best.  It  gripped  George 
Washington,  it  gripped  Abraham  Lincoln,  and  it 
has  gripped  every  great  leader  the  English-speak- 
ing world  has  ever  had — this  same  old-fashioned 
Bible.  The  wisest  men  down  through  the  ages 
have  absorbed  wisdom  from  its  pages,  and  to-day 
it  will  grip  men  who  study  it  with  a  stronger  grip 
than  it  has  ever  had  before,  because  to-day  they 
can  see  how  its  prophecies  have  been  fulfilled  in 
the  British  Empire  and  the  United  States  of 
America;  and  they  can  see  many  things  that  our

forefathers  took  by  faith  that  have  now  been  made 
facts  of  present  clay  history  in  national  Israel — 
facts  which  can  be  seen  plainly,  though  most  peo- 
ple condemn  them  before  they  have  given  ten 
minutes  to  study  it. 

The  power  that  is  to  rule  the  world — which 
Mr.  Wells  discusses  at  length — was  settled  and 
ordained  thousands  of  years  ago  and  given  by  the 
Creator  through  the  mouths  of  His  Hebrew  pro- 
phets to  Israel.  Mr.  Wells  writes  about  the 
foundations  of  a  world  state,  and  discusses  pro 
and  con  whether  it  should  have  a  president  or  a 
king.  If  lie  knew  his  Bible  better  he  would  know 
that  these  questions  were  decided  and  settled 
thousands  of  years  ago.  There  will  be  a  world 
state.  Its  foundations  were  laid  thousands  of 
years  ago  in  Jerusalem.  ''In  Jerusalem  ^yi[l  1 
put  my  name."  (2  Kings  21:4.)  A  king  will  rule 
this  world  state  and  Christ  Avill  be  that  king  and 
Britain  and  America  will  be  large  factors  in  that 
world  state. 

Mr.  Wells  refers  to  "that  strange  book, 
the  Revelation  of  St.  John  the  Divine,  it  comes  to 
an  end,  it  leaves  off  in  the  middle  of  the  Roman 
Imperial  and  social  conflicts,"  etc.  Now  the  facts 
are  that  it  does  nothing  of  the  sort.  The  Book  of 
Revelation  is  exactly  what  it  professes  to  be.  It 
reveals  or  is  a  Revelation  in  synopsis  form  and 
in  Hebrew  symbolical  langauge  of  the  world  his- 
tory from  the  time  of  Christ's  appearance  on 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  243 

earth,  when  he  was  crucified,  until  he  shall  come 
again  to  His  Kingdom  on  this  earth. 

Further,  when  Mr.  Wells  understands  his 
Bible  better,  he  will  find  that  there  is  not  a  ques- 
tion before  any  nation  or  nations  to-day,  neither 
of  elections,  independence,  self  determination  nor 
anything  else  that  is  not  amply  provided  for  in 
our  present  Bible  without  its  being  added  to  or 
scissored  away.  Bibles  are  so  cheap — yet  so 
little  read  in  the  so-called  Christan  nations  of  to- 
day that  they  fail  to  grip ;  but  that  is  the  fault  of 
the  people  who  do  not  study  them.  They  contain 
all  the  wisdom  of  the  ages,  and  there  is  no  single 
question  that  I  know  of  on  the  political  horizon 
to-day  that  cannot  be  solved,  properly  and  perma- 
nently solved,  by  applying  the  laws  laid  do\^^l  in 
its  pages. 

President  Harding  understood  this  when 
he  was  sworn  in  with  his  finger  on  the  passage : 

"What  doth  the  Lord  require  of  thee,  but  to  do 
justly,  and  to  love  mercv,  and  to  walk  humbly  with 
thy  God?" 

If  people  would  only  get  it  into  their  heads  that 
the  large  world  problems  are  being  worked  out  by 
Israel  according  to  God's  plan  and  that  the  Cre- 
ator has  His  hand  on  the  helm!  The  Brith-ish 
commonwealth,  because  it  is  not  an  Empire,  and 
her  offspring  would  have  been  on  the  scrap  heap 
ages  ago  but  for  the  guiding  hand  of  Pro^ddence 
time  after  time;  and  this  same  unseen  hand  Avill 


244  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

continue  to  protect  His  chosen  people,  the  Anglo- 
Saxon-Celts,  in  the  future,  provided  they  continue 
to  seek  the  help  of  the  Almighty  God  from  whom 
George  AYashnigton  and  Abraham  Lincoln  sought 
daily  help  and  received  it  irhfull  measure. 

AYlien  we  had  our  back  to  the  wall  in  front 
of  Amiens,  and  every  Anglo-Saxon  nation  the 
world  round  sought  God's  help,  we  received  it  in 
full  measure  and  our  arms  prospered  and  we  won 
through. 

Would  to-day  that  we  had  a  Moses  in 
Israel,  who  would  speak  unto  the  people  'Uhat 
they  go  forward,"  as  when  the  Red  Sea  was  in 
front  of  them  and  Pharaoh  behind,  they  went  for- 
ward dry  shod.  Moses  adhered  to  the  plans  laid 
down  by  God.  Would  that  our  leaders  and  your 
leaders  could  see  God's  national  plan,  adhere  to 
it,  and  go  forward!  Then  would  God  prosper 
your  undertakings,  as  your  Great  Seal  proclaims 
to  the  world. 

Gentlemen  of  the  short-haired  variety,  its 
up  to  you  for  decision!  If  you  will  apply  the 
horse  sense  and  reasoning  business  ability  you  use 
daily,  to  this  subject,  you  can  absolutely  wipe  out 
sickness,  disease  and  poverty  in  Anglo-Saxon 
countries  by  working  to  the  Creator's  plan  and 
you  can  permanently  solve  every  question  now 
troubling  your  nation  and  the  Avhole  world.  Isn't 
that  a  desirable  basis  for  even  the  highest  grade 
captains  of  production  to  aim  for? 


IN   CONCLUSION 

As  one  looks  over  the  field  of  foreign  af- 
fairs in  so  many  nations  and  sees  the  vain  striv- 
ings, leading  in  many  cases  to  headlong  national 
destruction,  one  wishes  at  times  there  was  a  power 
that  would  take  some  of  our  Secretaries  of  State 
for  Poreign  Affairs  by  the  hand  and  instill  some 
of  this  wisdom  and  light  contained  in  our  Bible 
into  their  perhaps  not  unwilling  ears. 

How  many  Secretaries  of  State  in  the 
world  are  there,  do  you  suppose,  who  realize  that 
God  the  maker  and  ruler  of  this  Universe  laid 
dovm  his  plan  in  His  Book  for  them  to  follow? 
How  many  men  in  the  Cabinets  of  the  world 
know  there  is  a  plan  laid  down  for  them  to  hew 
to !    Don 't  all  answer  at  once !    Yet    .     .     . 

When  the  Most  High  divided  unto  the  Na- 
tions their  inheritance,  ivhen  He  separated  the 
sons  of  Adam,  He  set  the  bounds  of  the  people 
according  to  the  numhers  of  the  children  of  Israel. 
For  the  Lord's  portion  is  His  People;  Jacob  is  the 
lot  {Cord. -mar gin)  of  his  Inheritance.    Deut.  32: 

8-9. 

*      *      *      * 

And  he  hath  made  of  one  blood  all  nations 
of  7nen  for  to  dwell  on  all  the  face  of  the  earth, 

245 


246  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

and  hath  determined  the  times  before  appointed, 
and  the  hounds  of  their  hahifaflon.  Acts  17 :  26. 
Well  it  seems  to  me,  that  as  the  Creator  has 
taken  the  trouble  to  state  that  He  set  the  hounds 
of  the  nations  and  hath  determined  the  times  he- 
fore  appointed,  that  the  wise  thing  for  our  States- 
men and  Rulers,  our  League  of  Nations,  etc.,  to  do 
is  to  try  and  learn  what  that  plan  is :  unless  like 

Lenine  and  Trotsky  with  their  New  York  Jewish 
backers  who  thinlv  they  are  wiser  than  Jehovah 
and  will  make  a  plan  of  their  own  that  will  assur- 
edly come  to  naught  carrying  Avith  it  all  the 
workers  of  iniquity. 

Yet  that  is  unwittingly  what  we  have  for 
ages  been  trying  to  do  and  what  a  hideous,  ghastly 
failure  man-made  laws  and  plans  have  made  of 
this  glorious  old  world  of  ours. 

Do  you  realize  Mister  Business  Man  that 
the  God  of  Heaven  laid  down  national  laws. 
Statutes  and  sample  judgments  for  use  on  this 
earth  for  all  the  Anglo-Saxon-Celtic  nations  and 
they  were  given  by  his  servant  Moses  to  Israel 
and  that  they  were  given  to  be  used  for  a  thousand 
generations  [which  time  has  not  yet  elapsed]  and 
that  they  have  never  been  abrogated  except  when 
reviewed  by  Christ  who  abrogated  one  statute, 
strengthened  six  and  then  adopted  the  whole  of 
the  law  thus  making  the  commandments,  statutes 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  247 

and  jndgniGnts  an  integral  part  of  His  New  Testa- 
ment gospel  and  of  His  new  covenant. 

I  noticed  in  an  American  newspaper  some 
months  ago  that  there  were  79,422  new  laws 
passed  in  America  in  1920.  I  wrote  to  your  Con- 
gressional Library  to  see  if  they  could  give  me 
the  numbers  of  laws,  statutes  and  man-made  judg- 
ments that  have  been  ground  out  since  1776  and 
which  were  still  in  operation  in  U.S.A.,  but  he 
could  not  say,  neither  can  any  one — but — there 
must  millions  of  them  and  no  one  knows  or  under- 
stands them,  yet  we  wonder  that  people  to-day 
have  little  or  no  respect  for  law. 

How  could  it  be  otherwise?  How  can  we 
have  respect  for  what  neither  you,  we  nor  anyone 
else  can  know  is  the  law  ? 

"VMien  the  United  States  of  America  and 
the  other  Saxon  nations  see  that  they  are  Israel 
and  adopt  Israel's  National  Constitution,  laws 
and  statutes,  and  follow  the  sample  judgments, 
all  three  of  which  are  contained  in  about  50  pages 
of  the  Bible,  there  will  never  be  any  question  about 
the  Judges  giving  right  decisions,  because  anyone 
can  study  those  pages  as  well  as  the  Judges,  and 
then  you  will  appoint  Judges  for  and  only  because 
of  their  character  and  ability  to  give  justice  and 
equity  their  proper  place  in  the  U.S.A. 

Speaking  to  an  old  friend  connected  with 
the  law  department  of  one  of  our  governments 
some  time  ago,  I  asked  liow  many  laws  we  were 


248  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

operating  under  now,  how  many  statutes  and  how 
many  judge-made  decisions  that  had  the  force  of 
law  did  we  have  1 

He  could  not  say  (but  admitted  that  law  in 
Canada  was  in  an  absolute  condition  of  chaos), 
neither  can  anyone  else  say  but  there  are  thou- 
sands upon  thousands  of  volumes  on  hand  to  dig 
into  and  try  and  find  some  Judge  who  has  ruled 
on  a  point  that  will  help  your  client.  How  can 
we  have  respect  for  such  man-made  law  and  for 
the  men  who  to-day  are  working  to  make  black 
appear  white  and  who  to-morrow  are  working  to 
make  it  appear  green  and  the  next  day  to  make 
it  appear  yellow  or  whatever  particular  color  that 
day's  client  pays  them  for  trying  to  make  it? 

Eespect?  respect  for  that  type  of  law  is 
dead,  dead  as  a  door  nail,  never  to  return  in  this 
world,  but  the  new  Era,  thank  God,  now  on  the 
way,  will  bring  back  to  National  Israel  its  God- 
given  constitution,  the  honoring  of  which  is  again 
and  again  insisted  upon  in  our  Bible,  (the  last 
chapter  and  last  verses  in  it  specifically  tell  you 
not  to  forget  the  law  of  Moses)  and  upon  the 
honoring  of  that  Constitution  and  the  keeping  of 
its  statutes,  commandments  and  judgments,  hangs 
the  cure  for  every  trouble  tliat  to-day  afflicts  man- 
kind in  tlie  United  States  of  America. 

That  sounds  a  bit  unreal,  a  bit  overdraA\m, 
doesn't  it!  And  yet  it  is  true,  Rev.  Wm.  Pascoe 
Goard  of  Vancouver,  author  of  *'New  Light  on 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  249 

Old  Paths,"  has  printed  a  pamphlet  *'The  Na- 
tional Message  of  the  Bible"  that  is  absolutely 
astounding  and  illuminating  in  what  it  points  out 
with  reference  to  this  matter. 

After  careful  perusal  of  his  basis  of  argu- 
ment and  the  basic  facts  contained  therein,  taken 
solely  from  the  Bible,  I  have  no  hesitation  in  de- 
claring that  within  16  years  the  United  States  of 
America  as  well  as  Canada,  Australia  and  the 
Mother  Country,  will  each  have  repealed  all  their 
man-made  laws  and  will  nationally  have  adopted 
the  digest  of  Constitutional  law  given  to  Moses 
by  Jehovah,  as  laid  do^vm  in  Deuteronomy,  in 
which  you  will  notice  there  are  no  ordnances,  they 
being  ecclesiastical  and  pertaining  to  the  Altar 
and  the  ecclesiastical  duties  of  the  Priesthood. 

How  did  this  Divine  Constitution  get  mis- 
laid after  it  was  given  to  Israel?  Well,  Jeroboam, 
whom  you  will  remember  as  the  first  king  of  the 
ten  tribes  of  Israel,  abrogated  the  ecclesiastical 
law,  and  Omri,  one  of  his  successors,  tiring  of 
Jehovah's  digest  of  laws  and  statutes  put  them 
aside,  so  causing  Israel  to  sin,  and  then  legislated 
to  suit  his  own  ideas  (Micah  6:16),  since  which 
time  the  laws  and  statutes  of  Omri  and  his  suc- 
cessors have  ruled  the  world  and  a  pretty  mess 
they  have  made  of  it. 

My  friend,  Henry  Ford,  would  try  to  cor- 
rect U.S.A.  judgments  by  paying  Judges  from 
$25,000  to  $75,000  per  annum  for  passing  out 


250  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

judgment,  and  so  make  them  independent  of  the 
big  interests,  but  it  won't  do  Henry.  You've  got 
to  go  back  to  the  basic  trouble  which  is  not  salary. 
If  your  engine  is  missing :  fix  your  engine,  don 't 
waste  time  playing  with  the  horn  (or  mouthpiece), 
it  won't  get  the  flivver  running.  No  Judge,  I 
care  not  how  able  he  is,  can  assure  anyone  Justice 
under  the  present  system  or  lack  of  system  of 
man-made  law,  "so  scrap  the  lot,"  its  the  only 
remedy  that  will  bring  results,  and  fake  on  those 
uncliangeahle  eternal  laws  laid  down  for  us,  appli- 
cable both  on  earth  and  in  Heaven,  which  can  no 
more  he  changed  than  can  the  immutable  laws  of 
nature  laid  doivn  by  the  same  author. 

AYhat  has  it  cost  America  for  not  taking 
on  and  obeying  these  innnutable  laws?  Well  I 
am  certain  that  it  is  many  billions  of  dollars 
each  and  every  year  that  you  are  giving  the 
go-by. 

The  principles  of  right  action,  as  Mr. 
Goard  points  out  are  few:  ''They  are  all  includ- 
ed in  the  Constitution,  they  cannot  be  changed, 
added  to,  or  repealed :  they  are  each  one  illustra- 
tively applied  in  the  Constitution;  thereforo,  the 
Constitution  is  perfect  in  our  age  and  is  capable 

of  full  application  under  our  complex  life." 

■*       *       *       # 

Constitutional  legislation  belongs  to  God 
only  and  whenever  a  man  or  nation  claims  tlie 
right  to  make  laws,  whether  autocratic  or  demo- 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  251 

cratic,  he  or  it  is  trespassing  upon  the  divine  pre- 
rogative, for  God  has  not  trusted  men  or  nations 
to  make  laics  for  the  government  of  their 
felloivs."* 

Now  you  wise  men  of  all  our  governments 
who  are  turning  out  the  everlasting  grist  of  Omri- 
made  laws  by  the  seventy-nine  thousand  per  an- 
num in  one  nation,  which  no  one  knows  about, 
which  not  one  in  a  hundred  thousand  would  un- 
derstand if  they  knew  of  them,  and  which  no  one 
obeys.  Suppose  j^ou  take  a  day  off  and  study 
those  simple  laws  laid  dowii  in  the  50  pages  of 
our  Bible  for  we-us-and-company  the  Anglo- 
Saxon-Celtic  nations  and  all  others  who  will  take 
them  on. 

If  my  friend  Samuel  Gompers  and  the  Am- 
erican Federation  of  Labor,  which  he  has  guided 
so  ably  these  many  years,  would  put  a  little  time 
in  on  this  subject  they  would  get  the  sure  remedy 
for  all  poverty,  for  all  sickness,  for  all  disease, 
that  now  bears  so  hard  on  millions  of  the  working 
people  in  America:  because  most  of  us  work  on 
this  continent. 

How  many  hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars 
do  you  spend  in  county,  state  and  federal  hospi- 
tals for  the  sick,  for  the  blind,  for  the  insane,  etc., 
every  year  in  the  century?  And  how  many  billion 
of  dollars  have  been  permanently  invested  in  the 

*The  National  Message  of  the  Bible. — Wm.  Pascoe  Ooard, 
Vancouver,  B.C. 


252  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

buildings  for  these  necessary  [at  present]  public 
institutions  ? 

"WHiat  does  it  cost  America,  in  hundreds  of 

millions  per  ammm  for  cattle  diseases,  for  hog 

fever,  for  tubercular  cattle,  for  ticks,  for  the  boll 

weevil,  for  wheat  rust,  for  the  corn  borer  and  the 

hundreds  of  other  blights  and  things  that  afflict 

this  present  generation? 

"What  is  Afflicting  America? 

Listen  you  cool-headed  business  man  and 
you  more  hot-headed  leaders  of  labor  and  you 
chaps  now  being  ground  between  the  upper  mill- 
stone of  Capitalism  and  the  lower  millstone  of 
Autocratic  Unionized  Labor. 

The  cure  for  all  your  ills  has  been  awaiting 
your  acceptance  three  thousand  years — but  ye 
would  not.  Look  up  Deut.  7 :  "Thou  [Israel]  shall 
therefore  keep  the  commandments,  and  the 
statutes,  and  the  judgments  which  I  command  you 
this  day  to  do  them."  Verse  15:  "And  the  Lord 
will  take  from  thee  all  sickness  ....  and  will  put 
none  of  the  evil  diseases  of  Egypt  upon  thee." 

Then  see,  in  chapter  28,  the  benefits  that 
would  accrue  Tf  we  kept  these  laws  and  statutes 
and  the  troubles  that  would  afflict  us  if  we  did  not 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERCIA  253 

keep  them.  Verse  1 :  ''And  it  shall  come  to  pass  if 
thou  shall  harken  diligently  unto  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  to  observe  and  to  do  all  his  com- 
mandments which  I  command  thee  this  day  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  will  see  thee  on  high  above  all 
the  nations  of  the  earth." 

Then  are  she^^^l  all  the  blessings  due  law- 
keeping  Israel. 

Well !  AVe  have  not  kept  them  but  have  been 
running  along  since  Omri's  time  under  man-made 
laws  of  several  million  sorts.  No  one  knoAvs  how 
many!  and  one  is  entitled  to  ask  if  we  have  re- 
ceived the  punishments  promised  and  due  us  for 
our  neglect  along  this  line. 

In  verses  16-22  some  of  the  curses  or  disa- 
bilities under  which  we  shall  labor  are  specified 
and  it  is  due  us  to  look  into  them  and  see  if  we  are 
afflicted  by  them  in  America  and  Anglo-Saxondom, 
at  this  time;  because,  if  we  are,  the  remedy  is  so 
simple  that  the  nation,  were  it  so  minded,  could 
correct  all  sickness,  all  disease,  both  of  man  and 
beast;  all  influenza,  all  consumption  and  all  pov- 
erty through-out  the  land  in  very  short  order. 

In  verse  22:  "The  Lord  shall  smite  thee 
with  a  consumption,  and  with  a  fever,  and  with  an 
inflamation,  and  with  an  extreme  burning,  and 
with  the  sword,  and  with  blasting,  and  with  a  mil- 
dew; and  they  (or  these)  shall  pursue  thee  until 
thou  perish," 


254  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

Well  gentlemen  there  they  are !  Consump- 
tion at  the  head  of  the  list,  the  white  man's  plague. 
Have  we  got  it  ?  and  got  it  bad  ?  "  With  a  fever. ' ' 
Hay  fever  claims  its  victims  by  the  million  and  our 
cities  and  farms  are  afflicted  with  scarlet,  typhoid 
and  other  fevers  like  smallpox,  diphtheria,  etc. 
Over  50  per  cent,  of  our  population  is  afflicted  with 
catarrah  of  various  kinds,  and  so  on  do\\Ti  the 
line. 

These  and  other  diseases  are  pursuing  us 
until  lue  perish  by  the  hundreds  of  thousands. 
Take  the  '^ Flue''  alone,  it  killed  more  people  thun 
the  Great  War.  As  foretold,  we  have  acquired  all 
the  penalties  mentioned  by  Moses  fourteen  hund- 
red and  fifty  years  before  Christ. 

^'It  is  well  to  note  that  these  physical 
troubles  are  not  associated  with  the  system  of  wor- 
ship but  witli  the  system  of  government,  and  also 
tliat  the  punishments  are  physical  and  not  spirit- 
ual," and  it  would  seem  possible  for  tlie  nation  to 
accept  the  divine  challenge  and  obtain  freedom 
from  all  its  physical  ills. 

To-day  the  whole  world  is  upset  by  reason 
of  the  war  debts  and  the  dislocation  of  trade,  and 
the  consequences — exchange  troubles.  Well,  Mr. 
Business  Man,  that  was  provided  for  in  our 
statute  on  credits  in  Deut.,  chapter  51, 


THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA  255 

''At  the  end  of  every  seventh  year  thou 
shalt  make  a  release  and  this  is  the  manner  of  the 
release :  Every  creditor  that  lendeth  ought  to  his 
neighbour  shall  release  it ;  he  shall  not  exact  it  of 
his  neighl)Our  or  of  his  brother  because  it  is  call- 
ed the  Lord's  Release." 

This  wonld  seem  a  pretty  fair  authority  to 
quote  (providing  we  really  believe  our  Bibles  are 
the  word  of  God)  for  the  settlement  of  war  debts 
due  by  France  and  other  nations  all  over  the 
world,  which  everyone  knows  can  never  be  paid. 
We  seem  -to  have  adopted  it  as  far  as  ordinary 
debts  are  concerned,  which  are  outlawed  after 
seven  years  in  Anglo-Saxondom. 

The  highest  authority  in  Heaven  and  on 
earth  laid  down  this  law  for  us  and  for  our 
guidance.  I  wonder  if  we  will  accept  it  and  ob- 
tain the  blessings  pertaining  thereto? 

The  reason  Avhy  you  are  to  do  this  releasing 
of  debts  is  also  specified  in  verse  4,  marginal  read- 
ing :  ''To  the  end  that  there  shall  be  no  poor  among 
you,"  and  also  in  verse  6:  "For  the  Lord  thy  God 
blesseth  thee,  as  he  promised  thee,  and  thou  shall 
lend  unto  many  nations,  but  thou  shall  not  borrow, 
and  thou  shall  reign  over  many  nations,  but  they 
shall  not  reign  over  thee." 

God  gave  America  the  natural  wealth  that 
Ch'as.  M.  Schwab  says  put  her  as  the  foremost 
connnercial  nation  of  the  world  and  God  also  com- 


256  THE  DESTINY  OF  AMERICA 

manded  lier  to  release  her  debtors  every  seventh 
year. 

Is  America  going  to  obtain  her  God-given 
wealth  and  then  duck  the  obligations  laid  down 
for  her  guidance  in  our  credit  statues?  Not  on 
j'-our  life.    Not  when  she  knows  it !    America  re- 


sponds ciuicker  when  her  statesmen  point  the  way 
than  any  nation  on  earth.  It's  up  to  you  states- 
men! 

Well,  gentlemen,  that 's  my  story. 

Thus  endeth  the  first  epistle  of  the  Road- 
builder  to  his  friends  in  the  United  States  of 
America,  to  his  friends  in  France,  Britain  and  the 
Dominion  of  Israel  beyond  the  seas,  whom  he  met 
in  those  years  of  service  at  the  Front. 

Just  note,  that  the  two  Frenchmen  most  re- 
sponsible for  winning  the  war,  Clemenceau  and 
Foch,  whose  autographed  photographs  look  do^vn 
at  me  as  I  write,  both  seem  to  be  of  Covenant 
stock  from  Brittany,  w^here  the  early  Britons 
settled  and  Avhere  the  Normans  (Benjamin  tribe) 
invaded,  A.D.  1000,  and  nearly  all  the  French 
Navy  are  Britons.  I  wonder  how  many  more? 
Israel  was  to  he  among  all  nations  and,  after 
Armageddon,  was  to  be  drawn  from  the  North, 
South,  East  and  AVest  to  Jerusalem.  I  think  all 
nations  who  have  the  Lion  of  Judah  on  their  na- 
tional coat  of  arms  are  portions  of  Israel.

My  most  candid  critic,  my  "better  half," 
says  I  am  too  hard  on  the  English  and  Scotch. 
Well,  my  mother  came  from  Suffolk,  England,  of 
Norman  or  Benjamin  (the  light  bearing)  stock — 
hence,  perhaps,  why  I'm  impelled  to  send  this,  my 
candle  of  light,  and  in  a  small  way  try  to  help  light 
the  high  road  for  wandering  feet.  My  father  came 
from  Glasgow;  so,  I  have  no  natural  prejudice 
against  my  o^^^l  forebears  from  the  Isles.  Being  an 
optimist  and  Scotch,  I  have  hopes  that  I've  not 
wasted  my  time  and  my  winter  holidays  as  well, 
for  I  have  spent  my  spare  hours  and  days  for  the 
past  year  writing,  rewriting  and  rearranging  this 
material  by  hand.  If  you  haven't  grasped  and 
absorbed  the  fact  that  national  Israel's  history  is 
foretold  down  through  the  ages  in  our  Bible  and 
that  the  Anglo-Saxon-Celts  fill  every  particular 
prophecy,  and  that  we  are  the  Israel  of  the  Bible, 
I  sure  have  misspent  my  time. 

I  feel,  however,  like  the  optimist  who  fell  otf 
the  fifty-fifth  story  of  the  Woolworth  building  in 
New  York,  as  he  was  falling  through  the  air  he

shot  past  a  friend  who  was  standing  at  his  open 
office  window  on  the  eleventh  story  and  was  heard 
to  say,  "AYell,  I'm  alright  so  far!" 

I  would  like  to  put  this  book  into  print  used 
by  the  blind,  and  present  every  soldier  of  the  late 
war  who  lost  his  sight  fighting  for  God,  for  free- 
dom, and  for  his  country,  with  a  copy  of  it,  so 
that  each  blind  soldier  in  America  may  know  and 
understand  the  part  he  took  with  Israel  as  God's 
battle  axe  and  as  His  weapons  of  war,  to  bring 
peace  to  this  trouble-stricken  world.

WHAT  OF  JAPAN? 

If  Americans  knew  their  future  a-s  laid  down  in 
the  Bible  they  would  fear  Japan  as  little  as  they  now 
do  Canada,  Australia,  or  New  Zealand,  because  the 
Samurai  and  up,  or  the  white  Japanese,  are  apparently 
our  own  people  of  Joseph's  seed  who  dwelt  in  Samaria, 
hence  their  name,  Samurai. 

These  Samurai,  like  the  New  England  stock  in 
America,  have  always  ruled  and  are  as  thrifty,  high 
spirited  and  libertj'-loving  as  are  the  Americans  or  the 
English.  They  possess  all  those  sturdy  characteristics 
that  your  Forefathers  of  Brith-ish  stock  possessed  and 
I  do  not  wonder  that  their  blood  boils  when  for  years 
they  have  been  referred  to  as  a  "yellow"  race,  by  Pro- 
Germans  and  your  trouble  breeding  yellow  sheets,  as 
well  as  this  year  by  some  people  and  newspapers  who 
should  know  better.  The  Samurai  are  no  more  "yellow" 
than  are  the  citizens  of  your  Southern  States,  black, 
though  the  labor  in  the  South  is  done  b}^  the  colored 
sons  of  America,  so  also  in  Japan  the  labor  is  performed 
by  the  Malay  peoples  or  Yellow  Japanese,  but  that  does 
not  make  the  white  folks  of  the  Southern  States  black 
any  more  than  it  makes  the  white  peoples  of  Japan 
yellow.  If  the  Americans  in  the  Southern  States  were 
referred  to  and  talked  about  as  black  men  by  Europeans, 
they  would  then  understand  how  these  Japanese  (who 
can  trace  their  descent  farther  back  than  can  one  in  a 
thousand  of  American  or  English-speaking  peoples)  feel 
when  they  are  spoken  of  and  about  as  an  inferior  and 
"yellow"  race  and  as  a  "yellow  peril."

260  WHAT   OF   JAPAN? 

The  Samurai  records  show  they  came  from 
Eastern  Asia  over  2,600  years  ago,  about  the  time  the 
Ephraim  Tribe  dwelt  in  the  City  of  Samaria,  which  was 
the  capital  of  the  Ten  Tribes,  hence  the  prophets  often 
refer  to  the  Ten  Tribes  as  Samaria.  The  City  was  42 
miles  north  of  Jerusalem,  built  925  B.C.  by  Orari,  and 
the  inhabitants  were  carried  away  captive  to  Media  by 
Shalmaneser  B.C.  720.  Rev.  W.  H.  Poole,  on  Page  453,* 
gives  details  of  a  tombstone  found  in  the  Crimea — "To 
one  of  the  faithful  in  Israel,  Abraham-ben-mar-Sinchah 
of  Kertsch,  in  the  year  of  an  exile  1682,  when  the  envoys 
of  the  prince  of  Rosh  Mescheck  came  from  Kiow  to  our 
Master,  Chazar  Prince  David,  Halah  and  Habor  and 
Gozen,  to  which  place  Tiglath-Pileser  had  exiled  the 
sons  of  Reuben  and  Gad  and  half  the  tribe  of  Manasseh, 
and  from  which  they  have  been  scattered  throughout 
the  entire  East  even  as  far  as  China."  This  date  the 
1682nd  year  of  their  captivity  equals  A.D.  961  and  shews 
that  portions  of  Israel  were  known  to  be  scattered  as 
far  as  China. 

Another  tombstone  inscription  of  nearly  1,000 
years  earlier  states,  "This  is  the  grave  of  Buki,  the  son 
of  Isaac,  the  priest,  may  his  rest  be  in  Eden  at  the  time 
of  the  deliverance  of  Israel.  He  died  702  of  our  Cap- 
tivity." This  would  be  about  19  B.C.  Hundreds  of  these 
tombstones  have  been  found  in  the  Crimea  on  a  high 
and  dry  ridge  lying  east  of  Sebastopol,  on  the  road  from 
Balaclava  to  Batshiserai,  where  there  is  an  Israclitish 
cemetery  in  close  proximity  to  a  fortification  called 
"IsraePs  fortress"  and  the  entrance  to  this  spot  still 
bears  the  name  the  Valley  of  Jchoshaphat. 

Professor  E.  Odium,  M.A.,  F.R.C.  Inst.,  etc.,  who 
for  many  years  lectured  in  Tokio  University,  has  given 
thirty  years'  study  to  this  question  and  is  enroute  to 
Japan  to  make  further  studies  along  these  lines,  is  cer- 
tain that  these  ruling  families  and  their  offspring  of  the 

*  Anglo-Israel,  W.  H.  Poole.     Albert  Britnell:  Toronto. 


WHAT   OF   JAPAN?  261 

white  Japanese,  the  Samurai,  are  from  the  same  stock 
as  we  Anglo-Saxon-Celts. 

In  support  of  this  the  Professor  points  out  that 
they  trace  their  descent  from  the  same  mother  that  we 
do,  The  Princess  of  On,  whom  Joseph  married  in  Egypt. 
They  have  among  their  oldest  heraldry  the  Lion  and  the 
Unicorn  of  the  Ephraim  Tribe  (English)  the  tribe  from 
which  they  sprang.  They  have  Moses'  fiery  serpent  of 
the  desert  among  their  ancient  relics.  In  one  of  their 
ancient  temples  they  have  an  exact  replica  of  The  Ark 
of  the  Tabernacle  and  once  a  year  with  much  ceremony 
the  Priests  of  the  Temple  carry  this  ark  on  poles  should- 
er high,  down  to  the  water,  stretch  their  feet  over  the 
water  and  as  it  does  not  divide,  they  return  the  ark  to 
its  resting  place  in  the  inner  court  of  the  Temple  until 
the  next  year.  They  have  forgotten  now  why  they  do 
this,  and  have  done  it  year  after  year,  down  through 
the  centuries,  the  reason  thereof  having  been  lost  to  the 
present  day  priests. 

Their  Shinto  religion  he  finds  after  much  study 
to  be  practically  the  Hebrew  religion  of  the  Desert  where 
Moses  lead  the  children  of  Israel  for  40  years. 

In  parts  of  Japan,  far  removed  from  routes  of 
tourist  travel,  once  a  year  the  people  are  commanded 
by  the  priest  to  stay  in  doors  on  a  certain  night  because 
the  evil  spirits  are  abroad  and  as  a  protection  against 
same,  the  aforementioned  priest  sprinkles  the  door  posts 
and  lintels  with  a  red  vegetable  stain  so  that  the  evil 
spirits  will  '^pass  over.''  I  wonder  where  their  fore- 
fathers first  practised  this  rite? 

If  interested  readers  would  look  up  in  the  En- 
cyclopedia Britannica,  11th  Edition,  from  page  206  on 
they  would  find  therein  that  the  Japanese  have  every 
outstanding  characteristic  possessed  by  Anglo-Saxons 
and  which  to-day  you  claim  as  typical  of  America. 

May  I  enumerate  a  few  of  them  ? 

Page  208.  "Frugality,  fealty  and  filial  piet}^— 
these  may  be  called  the  fundamental  virtues  of  the 
Samurai." 


262  WPIAT   OF   JAPAN? 

"Essentially  a  stoic,  he  made  self-control  the  ideal 
of  his  existence,  just  as  do  our  unexpressive,  unadver- 
tising,  Englishmen  and  also  New  England  Americans. 

Page  209.  "The  Samurai  entertained  a  high  re- 
spect for  the  obligations  of  truth.  "A  bushi  has  no 
second  word  was  one  of  his  favorite  mottoes,"  just  as 
was  and  is  the  Quakers  aye  and  nay  in  America. 

Page  222.  The  Shinto  religion  signifies  The 
Divine  Way. 

"Shinto  may  be  said  to  be  entwined  about  the  roots 
of  Japan's  national  existence.  Its  Scriptures,  as  the 
Kojiki  must  be  considered — resembles  the  Bible  in  that 
both  begin  with  the  cosmogony." 

Page  252.  "Japanese  annals  represent  the  first 
inhabitant  of  Earth  as  a  direct  descendant  of  the  Gods." 

Page  220.  "While  adopting  from  Confucianism 
the  doctrine  of  filial  piety  the  Japanese  grafted  on  it  a 
spirit  of  unswerving  loyalty  and  patriotism  and  believed 
that  in  the  life  beyond  the  grave  the  duty  of  guarding 
his  country  would  devolve  on  every  man."  .  .  .  the 
universally  underlying  principle  was  "serve  the  country 
and  be  diligent  in  j^our  respective  avocations !" 

Page  222.  "Purity  and  simplicity  being  essential 
characteristics  of  the  cult,  its  shrines  are  built  of  white 
wood  absolutely  without  decorative  features  of  any 
kind "there  are  no  graven  images." 

This  is  striking  evidence  that  in  the  land  from 
which  they  originally  came  images  must  have  been  for- 
bidden. To  whom  but  oiir  own  people  have  graven  im 
ages  always  been  forbidden  tlie  same  now  as  they  were 
2,600  years  ago  in  Samaria.  If  they  were  pagan  peoples 
graven  images  would  be  their  long  suit. 

The  tenets  of  the  Shinto  creed  divided  itself 
into  two  doctrines  that  seem  fairly  close  to  our  own. 

Page  209.  Says  the  tenets  of  the  Shinto  creed 
divided  themselves,  broadly  speaking,  into  two  doctrines, 
"Salvation  by  Faith  and  Salvation  by  Works.''  What 
pagan  land  did  they  get  this  from?  What  heathen  peo- 
ple ever  had  those  beliefs  as  their  national  religion? 


WHAT   OF   JAPAN?  263 

Page  206.  As  in  Israel  and  in  America  so  in 
Japan,  every  stalwart  man  had  to  bear  arms  at  least  as 
early  as  the  8th  Century.  The  early  English  were  the 
greatest  long  bowmen  of  Europe :  Saxon  bowmen  won 
our  wars  and  it  was  the  same  in  Japan.  "The  bow  was 
always  the  chief  weapon  of  the  fighting  men  in  Japan. 
War  and  bows  and  arrows  were  synonymous  terms"  . 
.  .  .  "Next  in  importance  to  the  bow  came  the  sword, 
which  is  often  spoken  of  as  the  Samurai's  chief  weapon, 
though  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  during  long  ages  it 
ranked  after  the  bow"  as  it  also  did  among  the  Anglo- 
Saxons." 

Page  207.  "The  Japanese  never  at  any  time  of 
their  history  used  poisoned  arrows :  they  despised  them 
as  depraved  and  inhuman  weapons",  wherein  they  differ 
from  a  more  modern  nation  of  alleged  highest  Kultur 
who  poisoned  men  by  the  thousand,  yet  we  and  you  ac- 
cepted Prussia  on  the  basis  of  what  our  universities 
claimed  for  her  and  her  damnable  higher  criticism,  and 
where  did  our  Professors  of  Science  and  Religion  land 
us  with  their  blind  acceptance  of  those  "Made  in  Ger- 
many" doctrines. 

Page  207.  "Although  ambuscades  and  surprises 
played  a  part  in  all  strategy,  pitch  battles  were  the  gen- 
oral  rule  and  it  was  essential  that  notice  of  an  intention 
to  attack  should  he  given  hy  discharging  a  singing  arrow. 
Thereafter,  the  assaulting  army,  taking  the  word  from 
its  Commander,  raised  a  shout  of  Ei !  Ei !  to  which  the 
other  side  replied,  and  the  formalities  having  been  thus 
satisfied,  the  fight  commenced.  "Generosity  to  a  defeated 
foe  was  one  of  the  tenets  of  the  Samurai  ethics"; 
where  outside  of  their  Anglo-Saxon  brethren  will  yon 
find  generosity  to  a  defeated  foe  practiced,  even  in  these 
days  ? 

Page  212.  It  is  interesting  to  note  from  the  En- 
cyclopedia that  Queen  Victoria  in  1858  presented  Japan 
with  one  quarter  of  the  nucleus  of  their  first  War 
fleet I  wonder  why  1    Can  it  be  that  blood  is 


264  WHAT    OF   JAPAN? 

thicker  than  water  and  that  as  John  Bull  was  in  Manilla 
Bay  to  help  just  when  wanted,  so  our  Queen  helped 
Japan  to  her  feet  when  she  was  in  swaddling  clothes, 
so  to  speak,  and  we  have  stood  by  her  ever  since  as 
Japan  has  stood  by  us,  because  the  word  of  Japan's 
statesmen  is  the  equal  of  our  oaati. 

Page  273.  "The  intense  pride  of  the  Japanese 
in  their  nationality,  their  patriotism  and  loyalty,  arise 
from  their  histor}^,  for  what  other  nation  can  point  to 
an  Imperial  family  of  one  unbroken  lineage  reigning 
over  the  land  for  twenty-five  centuries.  Is  it  not  a  glor- 
ious tradition  for  a  nation  that  its  emperor  should  be 
descended  direct!}^  from  that  grandson  of  "The  great 
heaven  illuminating  goddess"  to  whom  she  said,  "This 
Japan  is  the  region  over  which  my  descendants  shall  be 
the  Lords.  Do  thou  my  august  child,  proceed  thither 
and  govern  it."  Go!  The  prosperity  of  thy  dynasty  shall 
he  coeval  with  Heaven  and  Earth." 

That  almost  sounds  like  the  promises  made  to 
David  that  his  seed  shall  endure  as  the  sun  and  the 
moon  before  him. 

Well  reader,  here  are  all  these  facts  that  seem  to 
favor  Professor  Odium's  belief  that  Japan  was,  and 
therefore  still  is,  a  portion  of  Israel  who  took  council 
among  themselves  when  they  were  captives  of  the 
Assyrians  saying,  "let  us  go  into  a  far  country  where 
never  yet  men  dwelt  that  they  might  there  keep  the 
commandments  that  they  had  not  kept  in  their  own 
land."  I  have  wondered  if  Isaiah,  Chapter  41,  which 
was  directed  to  the  Brith  Colony  of  the  Isles  or  Britain, 
might  in  verse  25  refer  to  Japan,  also  of  the  Isles,  lo- 
cated in  the  north  and  towards  the  sun-rising,  and  they 
have  on  their  banners  the  rising  sun  for  a  totem  or  way- 
mark  ?    The  verse  reads : 

"I  have  raised  up  one  from  the  North,  and  he 
shall  come :  from  the  rising  of  the  sun  shall  he  call 
upon  my  name ;  and  he  shall  come  upon  princes  as 
upon  mortar  and  as  the  potter  treadeth  clay." 


WHAT   OF   JAPAN?  265 

If  the  Samurai  of  Japan  are  of  Israel  from 
Samaria,  then  they  are  of  Joseph's  seed  to  whom  was 
given  the  material  blessings  and  material  wealth  and 
the  commission  to  settle  the  waste  places  of  the  earth 
and  to  whom  also  were  given  the  heathen  for  an  in- 
heritance, then  I  submit  is  Japan  entitled  to  take  on 
her  share  of  settling  these  waste  places  of  the  earth 
adjoining  her  bailliwiek,  provided  she  carries  out  the 
God-given  instructions  of  governing  with  truth  and 
justice  that  Israel  was  commissioned  to  carry  to  the  ends 
of  the  earth. 

By  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them !  Suppose  we 
examine  Japan  from  this  angle.  This  is  still  the  Divine 
method  for  judging  men,  churches  and  nations.  Let  us 
forget  the  German-made  propaganda  made  against 
Japan  since  the  day  she  defeated  Russia  at  Port  Arthur, 
from  which  day  Germany  saw  a  possible  rival  in  the 
East  and  commenced  to  holler  "Yellow  Peril"  and  her 
minions  have  been  at  it  ever  since,  and  to-day  thousands 
of  our  best  citizens,  as  well  as  yours,  believe  all  the  true 
and  all  the  false  things  said  about  Japan  by  those  paid 
employees  of  the  Von  Papen  brand  of  Germans.  Where 
was  Japan  in  the  late  War?  How  long  did  she  take  to 
get  into  the  game?  These  were  the  fruits  she  brought 
forth  then  and  I  believe  she  will  do  likewise  in  Armaged- 
don our  next,  greatest,  and  last  war. 

What  if  Japan  is  a  part  of  Israel  ?  then  who  are 
we  to  deny  her  that  share  of  God's  blessings  promised 
to  Joseph's  seed,  because  "when  God  divided  unto  the 
nations  their  inheritance,  he  did  it  according  to  the 
numbers  of  the  Children  of  Israel"  who  were  to  be  scat- 
tered among  all  nations,  and  if  Japan  be  of  Israel  stock 
then  room  must  be  found  for  her  or  she  will  find  it  and 
take  it  as  God's  purpose  cannot  be  defeated ;  all  sections 
of  Israel  must  have  room  to  bloom  and  grow  properly. 

America,  Canada  and  Australia  do  not  desire  that 
Japanese  immigrants  be  allowed  to  enter  their  ports 
(at  present),  though  Israel  was  instructed  by  the  Cre- 


266  WHAT   OF   JAPAN? 

ator  to  keep  their  national  doors  open  to  all.  America 
has  been  the  melting  pot  for  all  nations.  To-day  she 
allows  Jews  from  all  countries  under  heaven,  good,  bad 
and  indifferent,  to  enter  her  ports  and  overflow  her 
cities ;  and  she  refuses  to  receive  the  clean,  thrifty,  sav- 
ing, and  hard-working  Japanese,  who  largely  works  on 
the  land,  permission  to  enter.    ...    I  wonder  why  ? 

There  must  be  some  unpublished  reason  why  the 
type  of  Jews  who  fill  the  poorer  quarters  of  your  big 
Eastern  Cities  are  preferred  as  immigrants  to  the  clean, 
energetic,  long-hour  workers  on  the  land  where  workers 
are  so  scarce  and  where  more  production  is  so  badly 
needed  to  keep  the  working  men  fed,  and  such  the  Japs 
have  shown  themselves  to  be  in  California  and  in 
British  Columbia  as  the  vegetable  growers  in  those  sec- 
tions. 

For  years  I  marvelled  at  the  fear  expressed  by 
America's  papers  and  politicians  at  little  Japan's  designs 
in  the  Pacific  until  I  realized  'twas  made  in  Germany 
to  keep  Japan  from  reaping  the  fruits  of  her  victory 
over  Russia.  Gennany  had  intended  taking  the  Philip- 
pines after  your  nation  won  them  from  Spain,  in  the 
same  way  she  took  areas  in  China  after  making  Japan 
give  them  up,  and  that  was  why  the  German  fleet 
steamed  into  Manilla  Bay  when  Admiral  Dewey  had 
taken  the  Islands.  Japan  having  had  this  humiliating 
experience  does  not  propose  in  future  to  be  in  such  a 
feeble  condition  on  the  sea  that  any  nation  can  force 
her  to  give  up  what  she  is  honorably  entitled  to  possess. 

Japan  would  have  as  much  chance  in  war  against 
the  U.S.A.  as  a  Ford  flivver  would  have  in  a  head-on 
collision  with  a  ten-ton  Packard  truck;  the  fliver  might 
dent  the  radiator  in  front  but  that  would  be  tJ>e  begin- 
ning and  end  of  the  damage  done,  while  it  would  be 
smashed  in  the  head-on  impact  and  run  over  by  the 
truck  and  the  Japanese  are  wise, enough  to  see  that,  and 
I  believe  they  have  no  more  idea  of  fighting  with  U.S.A. 
than  has  Canada  your  northern  neighbor. 


WHAT    OF   JAPAN?  267 

If  Japan  is  a  section  of  Israel  then  she  as  much 
as  we,  was  promised  the  heathen  for  an  inheritance  and 
the  waste  places  of  the  earth,  and  we  should  therefore 
treat  her  accordingly  and  judge  her  by  her  fruits,  and 
by  her  past  performance  of  her  engagements. 

As  another  way-mark  of  where  Japan  is  heading 
I  noted  in  a  Boston  Herald,  Sept.  15,  1921,  issue,  that 
learning  to  read  English  is  now  one  of  the  requirements 
in  Japanese  schools  and  so  it  is  being  taught  in  all 
Japanese  schools.  Only  ten  per  cent,  of  Japanese  are 
illiterate,  a  much  lower  percentage  than  war  tests  found 
in  America  in  1917.  When  Japan  acquires  English 
how  long  will  it  be  before  she  nationally  adopts  our 
Bible  and  becomes  our  Brother  in  language  and  ideals  ? 

The  U.S.A.  years  ago  served  notice  by  one  ]\fun- 
roe  to  all  European  Nations  "Hands  Off  America." 
Has  Japan  not  quite  as  much  right  to-day  to  say  to  the 
world  "Hands  Off  Asia"  and  if  not,  why  not  ?  America 
had  a  Bible  authority  for  her  action  in  that  respect.  What 
if  Japan  has  the  same  authority?  Japan  does  not  treat 
her  engagements  as  scraps  of  paper.  She  came  to  the 
world's  assistance  in  the  world's  hour  of  need.  She  did 
everything  she  was  asked  to  do,  did  it  surprisingly  well 
and  was  willing  to  do  more,  and  now  we  are  told  Amer- 
ica has  asked  Britain  to  throw  her  friend  of  3'esterday 
overboard  after  using  her  and  not  to  renew  the  treaty 
she  has  with  her  comrade  in  arms,  Japan,  and  the  present 
mouthpiece  of  Canada's  Government  says  "Me  Too." 
But  John  Bull,  Australia  and  New  Zealand  are  in  the 
right  this  time  and  will,  I  think,  prevail  and  a  renewed 
treaty  made  with,  I  hope,  the  U.S.A.  included. 

During  the  war,  when  Canada,  Australia,  New 
Zealand  and  South  Africa  asserted  their  right  as 
equal  partners  in  the  Brith-ish  Commonwealth  of 
nations  and  were  granted  the  same,  the  nation  to 
object  was  their  brother,  the  United  States  of  America, 
who  had  had  to  fight  against  and  not  for  Great  Britain 
to  receive  the  same  rights,  all  of  which  were  God-given 


268  WHAT    OF   JAPAN? 

rights  laid  down  thousands  of  years  ago  and  now  being 
put  into  practice. 

America  fears  five  votes  to  one  when,  as  a  matter 
of  fact,  the  chances  are  that  the  younger  nations  of  the 
Commonwealth  (because  it  is  not  an  Empire  governed 
from  a  central  point)  are  much  more  apt  to  vote  with 
U.S.A.  and  against  Great  Britain,  as  all  these  young 
nations  have  a  freedom  of  thought  and  a  vision  of  the 
mind  that  is  given  to  but  few  Englishmen  in  the  tight 
little  Isle,  but  is  characteristic  of  the  broad  acres  of  the 
U.S.A.,  Canada,  Australia  and  South  Africa. 

At  any  rate  they  are  nations  the  equal  of  and 
as  self-governing  as  is  America. 

Yet  America  stood  against  our  signing  the  Peace 
Treaty  and  to-day  we  are  not  invited  to  take  part  in 
the  November  11th  disarmament  conference,  unless  in- 
vited by  Britain  to  make  up  part  of  their  delegation.  In 
other  words  Ave  can  only  get  in  by  crawling  under  the 
protecting  wings  of  Mother  Britain  as  little  chicks  do 
under  the  mother  hen. 

How  long  will  it  be  ere  Brother  Jonathan  realizes 
that  we  are  full  grown  nations  with  a  large  following 
of  our  own  and  to  ask  us  to  crawl  under  any  shelter- 
ing wings  is  belittling  to  the  dignity  that  we  in  com- 
mon with  all  other  Israelitish  nations  possess  as  their 
birthright. 

If  Japan  is  of  Israel's  brotherhood  they  must  be 
treated  as  such  or  we  and  you  will  pay  the  penalty  for 
standing  in  the  way  of  the  Creator's  designs. 

If  your  Government  and  ours  were  only  wise  to 
what  was  coming  during  the  next  15  years  they  would 
bind  Japan  to  them  with  bands  of  steel  at  the  coming 
conference,  because  they  will  need  Japan  as  Japan  will 
never  need  the  U.  S.  A.,  because  if  they  are  not  for  us 
they  will  be  against  us  in  Armageddon.  I,  however, 
have  every  confidence  in  Japan  being  with  us  just  as 
they  were  in  the  late  war. 


WHAT   OF   JAPAN?  269 

Instead  of  asking  Britain  to  break  with  her  friend 
who  came  to  the  help  of  the  world  in  the  time  of  the 
world's  greatest  need,  which  is  an  evidence  of  who  they 
are,  America  should  join  with  the  Brith-ish  Common- 
wealth of  Nations  and  Japan  in  a  triple  open  and  above 
board  covenant  and  then  all  quit  building  super-dread- 
noughts and  build  ships  for  carrying  aeroplanes  instead, 
and  fast  up-to-date  cruisers,  etc.,  because  the  time  is 
coming  when  five  men  shall  chase  an  hundred,  but  you 
must  be  ready  to  transport  your  series  of  fives  in  a 
hurry. 

The  world  witnessed  its  last  big  sea  war,  when 
the  Battle  of  Jutland  was  fought  in  1917.

JUDAH'S  SCEPTRE  AND  JOSEPH'S 
BIRTHRIGHT— An  Analysis  of  the  Pro- 
phecies OF  Scripture  Concerning  the  Royal 
House  of  Judah  and  the  Many  Nations  of 
Israel,  the  Lost  Ten  Tribes. 

BY  REV.  J.  H.  ALLEN 
It  is  clearly  recognized  among  all  thoughtful  students 
of  the  Scriptures  that  a  profound  story  is  revealed  in 
the  history  of  the  Twelve  Tribes  of  Israel,  and  that  this 
story  jjervades  the  Bible  from  Genesis  to  Revelation. 
The  author  shows  by  indisputable  logic  and  facts  that 
although  the  prophecies  concerning  Judah  (the  Jews), 
have  been  largely  fulfilled,  those  more  far-reaching  ones 
pertaining  to  Israel  have  not  been  recognized  as  apply- 
ing to  any  of  the  nations  of  the  earth  to-day.

OUR  INVINCIBLE  RACE, 

or   "Israel   my  Glory" 

BY  REV.  J.  H.  ALLEN. 

This  book  might  be  considered  a  sequel  to  the 
author's  great  work  Judalis  Sceptre  and  Jos- 
eph's Birthright  which  deals  literally  with  the 
prophecies  of  the  Old  Testament. 

A  special  feature  of  Our  Invincible  Race  is 
the  New  Testament  evidence  that  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  Race  is  the  Israel  of  the  later  prophecies, 
the  race  who  was  to  receive  the  Heaven-sent 
Word,  which  it  was  prophesied  the  house  of 
Judah  (the  Jevrs)  were  to  reject.  Upon  this 
house  of  Israel,  because  they  accepted  that 
divine  Word,  the  Glorj-  of  the  Lord  has  risen 
and  has  become  the  promised  Light  to  the  Gen- 
tiles, to  whose  brightness  the  Gentiles  have  come. 

Ready  November  15th.  Price  $1.75.

THE 

WATCHMAN  OF  ISRAEL 

A  MONTHLY  PUBLICATION  IN  THE 
INTERESTS  OF  ALL  ISRAEL. 

This  magazine  is  published  with  the  belief 
that  a  broad  imderstanding  of  history  and  pro- 
phecy upon  which  the  identity  of  Israel  is  based 
will  revive  the  spirit  and  inspiration  of  Chris- 
tianity in  all  denominations. 

Thousands  of  thinking  people  are  to-day  awak- 
ening to  the  momentous  fact  that  men  and  na- 
tions are  not  the  creatures  of  chance  and  change 
since  there  is  an  unfailing  design  of  God  and  a 
divine  order  governing  the  destiny  of  men  and 
nations.  The  English-speaking  peoples  of  to- 
day are  the  lineal  descendants  of  the  Lost  Ten 
Tribes  of  Israel  and  must  fulfill  in  these  latter 
days  the  responsibilities  decreed  for  them 
through  the  patriarchs  and  prophets. 

Is  it  not  important  that  our  leaders  and  people 

acquaint   themselves  with  these  responsibilities 
and  Avith  the  Bible's  message  to  Israel  ? 

The  Watchman  of  Israel  is  published  monthly 
and  contains  contrii3utions  from  the  best  writers 
on  this  subject  from  all  over  the  world. 

Subscription  price,  $2.00  per  Year.
